The Studebaker Land Cruiser was an automobile produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana (USA). Introduced in the 1933 at the Chicago Worlds Fair as an extensively streamlined sedan, the Land Cruiser evolved into Studebaker’s largest production sedan of the post World War II era. The Land Cruiser name was discontinued at the end of the 1958 model year.

Land Cruisers were built on Studebaker’s longest wheelbase and were appointed in the highest grade trim offered for the year in which they were produced. Land Cruisers were generally powered by Studebaker's largest in-line V8 until 1942. When Land Cruiser production returned in 1947, the car was powered by Studebaker's L-6 cylinder engine; in 1950 the company's highly respected small block V8 was used until production ended at the prior to the 1959 model year when Studebaker converted to making the compact Studebaker Lark models.
