De Tomaso Mangusta was a sports car from Italian automobile manifacturer De Tomaso between 1967 and 1970, replacing the Vallelunga model. It was replaced by De Tomaso Pantera in 1971.

The Mangusta has a mid-mounted V8 egnie. Giorgetto Giugiaro designed the car, which is easily recognised by its gull wing style doors over the engine and luggage compartment.

The Mangusta name was revived in the late 1990s and early 2000s when the concept car De Tomaso Bigua became the Qvale Mangusta, after a dispute between De Tomaso and business partner Qvale.
