The Cadillac Calais is an automobile produced by Cadillac from 1965 to 1976. The Division renamed its entry-level Series 62 as the "Calais" in 1965, after the French port city, derived from the Greek mythological figure Calais. The Calais was identical in styling and mechanics to the better-equipped, more expensive Cadillac de Ville. No convertible model was offered in the Calais line.
The Calais name would be reused for future models of other GM divisions: the Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, Holden Calais (VE) and Holden Calais (VF).
