The Alvis TE21, sometimes called the Series III, was a sporting car produced by Alvis cars between 1963 and 1966. It was an updated version of the 1958 TD21.

The body was a modified version of the TC108G styled by Graber of Switzerland and built by Park Ward but distinguished by having twin headlights mounted one above the other. Saloon and drophead versions were available.

The 2993 cc engine, first used in the 1950 TA21, received a modified cylinder head and manifold which increased power to Auto bhp|130|0 at 4000 rpm giving the car a top speed of Auto mph|107|0.cite book |last=Robson |first=G. |title=A-Z of British Cars 1945-1980|year=2006 |publisher=Herridge |location=Devon, UK |id=ISBN 0-9541063-9-3] A choice of automatic or five speed gearbox made by ZF was available. Suspension was independent at the front using coil springs with leaf springs at the rear. Disc brakes were fitted to all wheels.

Recirculating ball type steering gear was fitted to reduce effort and power steering became optional in late 1964.

Although the car was replaced by the TF21 in 1966, the TE21 was still available to special order until 1967.
