The Lancia Megagamma is a small concept van by Italdesign, designed in 1978 and introduced at the 1978 Turin Motor Show.^[3]

Featuring a high seating h-point and a coefficient of drag of 0.34, the small van used a front engined, front-wheel drive layout based on the Lancia Gamma platform with a Lancia SOHC 2.5 litre flat-4 engine and Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection.

The design combined many attributes of the modern MPVs — notably a roomy, flexible cabin in a compact package^[4]^[5] — not unlike its antecedents, the Volkswagen Type 2 (1950) and the DKW Schnellaster (1949-1962) and such notable successors as the Nissan Prairie (1981), Mitsubishi Chariot, Renault Espace, Honda Shuttle, Toyota Sprinter Caribbean, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Renault Scenic, Volkswagen Touran and Lancia Zeta and Phedra.

Lancia's parent company, Fiat, viewed the concept as risky^[6] and it did not reach production.
