The Maserati Alfieri is a concept car from the Italian car manufacturer Maserati. It was shown at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
The Alfieri uses design elements of the Maserati A6 GCS/54 designed by Pininfarina in 1954. It is based on the chassis of the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale with a shorter wheelbase of 24 cm, equipped with a locking transaxle and Ferrari-derived 4.7-litre V8 engine rated at and at 4750 rpm.
The Alfieri was reported to be joined by a convertible variant in 2021 after the coupe's introduction. An Electric car was planned for 2021 at the earliest.
In June 2018, Maserati announced that the Alfieri would be offered as a plug-in hybrid from 2021 and as an electric vehicle from 2020 with three electric motors and all-wheel-drive. Further, the Alfieri coupe and convertible would replace the Maserati GranTurismo and GranCabrio.Tim Kuniski, Maserati, Maserati 2018–22 production plans and speculations, 1 June 2018.

In 2019, it was announced by Maserati's then-executive chairman Harald Wester that the Alfieri would enter mass production in 2021 or 2022.

In mid-2021, it was confirmed that a new GranTurismo prototype using styling cues from the Alfieri was being test-driven, with options for an electric drivetrain as well as V6 and V8 engines.
