The Dodge Spirit is a midsize automobile marketed by Dodge from the 1989 to the 1995 model years. Succeeding the Dodge Aries, Dodge Lancer, and Dodge 600 ,[1][2] the Spirit was marketed between the Shadow and the Dynasty within the Dodge product line, exclusively as a four-door notchback sedan over a single generation.

The Spirit used the Chrysler AA platform, an extended-wheelbase derivative of the Chrysler K platform.[3] The model line was marketed under different names by all three Chrysler divisions, primarily as the Plymouth Acclaim and the final generation of the Chrysler LeBaron sedan; in Europe, the model line was marketed as the Chrysler Saratoga.

Chrysler assembled the Spirit alongside the Acclaim/LeBaron at Newark Assembly (Newark, Delaware) and Toluca Car Assembly (Toluca, Mexico) facilities; the final vehicle was produced on December 9, 1994. For 1995, the Spirit was marketed concurrently alongside its Dodge Stratus successor.
