The Mercedes-Benz W114 and W115 are the internal designations Mercedes-Benz used for a generation of front-engine, rear-drive, five-passenger sedans and coupés introduced in 1968, with three-box styling by Paul Bracq — succeeding the W110 models introduced in 1961; and manufactured until model year 1976, when the W123 was released.

The interior received inertia reel belts and a new padded steering wheel with a four-spoke design.

Murtala Ramat Muhammed (1938–1976; head of state of Nigeria July 1975-February 1976) was assassinated while travelling in a 230.6 (W114.617) LWB (long-wheelbase)).

Other innovations in the W114/W115 models include a center console (a first in a Mercedes saloon), and ribbed taillights in 1974, designed to better repel dirt and debris.
