The Subaru Tribeca is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Subaru for model years 2005-2014. Released in some markets, including Canada, as the Subaru B9 Tribeca, the name derived from the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City. Built on the Subaru Legacy platform and sold in five- and seven-seat configurations, the Tribeca was intended to be sold alongside a slightly revised version known as the Saab 9-6X. Saab, at the time a subsidiary of General Motors (GM), abandoned the 9-6X program just prior to its release subsequent to GM's 2005 divestiture of its 20 percent stake in FHI.

Inspired by Subaru's B9X concept, the Tribeca's original design was criticized at launch and revised for model year 2008, and its name shortened to Tribeca in all markets.

North American markets received the Tribeca for 2006 model year 2006, and it was introduced to Australasia and Europe in late 2006. In addition to these markets, Subaru marketed the Tribeca also in South America, South Africa, China, the Middle East, and parts of Southeast Asia. It was not sold in Japan.
