Riley 'Kestrel' was a brand name applied by the Riley Motor Car Company and its successors the Nuffield Organization and the British Leyland Motor Corporation to various of their saloon car models.

In pre-war Rileys, the Kestrel name typically denoted a sporty model with 'fastback' styling. Some of the cars produced in each of the following models received the Kestrel name, which was then revived in 1965 for a badge engineered version of the BMC ADO16:

• 19261937 Riley Nine

• 19341935 Riley 12/4

• 19351938 Riley 1½ Litre

• 19371940 Riley 16 (16/4) 2½-litre

• 19651969 A variant of the BMC ADO16/Austin/Morris 1100/1300)
