The Ford Edsel Citation was an automobile produced by the former Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln Division of the Ford Motor Company of Dearborn, Michigan and sold through its Edsel marque in 1958. The Citation was built off the longer Edsel platform, shared with Mercury (automobile) brand automobiles, and shared its body with the Edsel Corsair.

The Citation represented the highest trim level available within the Edsel brand. In addition to deluxe interior appointments, the Citation also received extra stainless steel details and an inner cove panel which could be painted by either the color of the cove itself, or a third color if the car had a two-tone paint scheme.

Riding on a 124 in wheelbase, the Citation was powered by a 410 in³ V8 producing 345 bhp. Edsel’s Teletouch automatic, which placed its drive-selection buttons in the steering wheel hub, was standard.

While its roll-out was highly publicized in the fall of 1957, the 1958 Edsel was a marketing disaster for Ford and for Ford's corporate strategy for meeting General Motors' product line for product line. Total Citation output for the model stood at an estimated 9,177 units, of which 1,571 were convertibles, 5,072 were hardtop sedans, and 2,534 were hardtop coupes. Prices ranged from US$3,500 to $3,766.

For the 1959 model year, the Citation and the Corsair models were dropped (as was the trouble prone Teletouch system) from Edsel’s model range for 1959, which was introduced in the fall of 1958.

The Citation covertible remains one of the most sought after models amongst modern-day Edsel collectors.
