The General Motors E platform or E-Body was the automobile platform designation used for a number of personal luxury cars produced from 1963 to 2002. Notibly, early E-bodies were produced in both front wheel drive and rear wheel drive configurations, and were the first front wheel drive automobiles produced in the United States since 1937.

E-Bodies were re-engineered to a smaller size in 1979, closely related to the GM K platform (FWD). Later, the cars were made smaller still with the 1986 redesign, along with the K-Body. The 1986–1993 E-bodies were produced at GM's high-tech Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly plant. GM used the E-body designation until the Cadillac Eldorado ceased production in 2002.

The E-body was used as the basis for the V-body high-end luxury coupes.

This body shell designation was used for the following vehicles:

• 1963–1976 Buick Riviera (RWD)
• 1979–1993 Buick Riviera (FWD)
• 1967–2002 Cadillac Eldorado (FWD)
• 1966–1992 Oldsmobile Toronado (FWD)
