The Renault Fuego (Fire in Spanish) is a sport hatchback that was manufactured and marketed by Renault from 1980 to 1986, replacing the Renault 15 and 17 coupés of the 1970s.

A total of 265,367 Fuegos were produced, approximately 85% of which were manufactured in Maubeuge, France, from 1979 until 1985. Spanish production for European markets continued into 1986.

Cars built in France were imported and marketed in the United States by American Motors Corporation (AMC). The Turbo version went on sale in the US in 1982, a year before its launch in France.
