The Amilcar Pégase is a mid-sized car made between 1934 and 1937 by the French Amilcar company. The 2150 cc four-cylinder engine placed it in the 12CV car tax band. Other engine sizes, including a 2490 cc (14CV) unit developed in-house, were also listed.

The car's introduction coincided with the final chapter of Amilcar's struggle for survival. After 1935 the Pégase was the manufacturer's only listed model, and by the time it was delisted, the residuum of Amilcar had been absorbed into Hotchkiss.

The Amilcar Pégase offered a range of bodies that featured the stylish aerodynamic look that became fashionable in the mid 1930s. When first shown, the car had the headlights mounted up high within the grille, but this was abandoned in favour of a more traditional layout on the production models.
