The Jaguar Mark IX (pronounced "mark nine") was a large saloon car produced by Jaguar Cars between 1959 and 1961. It replaced the previous Mark VIII, and indeed differed little in exterior appearance except for the new model name. It was replaced by the much larger Mark X in 1961.

Standard transmission was a four speed manual system: options included overdrive or usually a Borg Warner three speed automatic boxcite book |last=Gloor |first=Roger |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Alle Autos der 50er Jahre 1945 - 1960|year=1.

Internally, an enlarged-bore 3.8 L (231 in³), 220 bhp DOHC straight-6 replaced the previous 3.4 L (210 in³) unit. Two SU carburettors were fitted. Four-wheel servo assisted Dunlop [disc brake] s and recirculating ball power steering were now standard equipment. The vehicle's power and good brakes for a vehicle of the era, together with its impressive appearance makes it quite a common choice for classic car circuit racing, such as at the Goodwood Circuit's 'Revival' meetings. The torsion bar independent front suspension and leaf sprung rear live axle was retained from the Mk VIII.

The body was very similar to its predecessor but the sunshine roof became a standard fitting on the home market. The interior was in the same luxurious mode with extensive use of leather and wood trim and deep pile carpet. A range of single and duo-tone paint schemes were offered.
