The Mazda Capella is a mid-size car that was manufactured by Mazda Motor Corporation from 1970 to 2002. Sold in the Japanese domestic market under the Capella name, the vehicle was also commonly known in other major markets as the Mazda 626. Mazda's partner at the time, Ford Motor Company would also use the Capella platform to create the Ford Telstar and Ford Probe. 4,345,279 of the 626 and Ford Telstar models were sold worldwide.

Designed to compete against Japanese mid-size stalwarts such as theHonda Accord, Toyota Corona, and Nissan Bluebird, the Capella would be succeeded by the Mazda 6 (Atenza) in 2002.

The car was named for Capella, the brightest star in the constellationAuriga, the sixth brightest in the night sky and the third brightest in the northern celestial hemisphere, after Arcturus and Vega.
