==Jaguars in fiction and the media==
[[Image:Jaguar.jpg|right|200px|Jaguar XK]]
* The [[Jaguar Mark 2]] saloon gained a reputation as a getaway car among the British criminal fraternity in the 1960s. As a result, Mark 2s have featured in many British crime films, including ''Robbery'', ''Get Carter'' and ''Mona Lisa''. However, the best known fictional Mark 2 is probably the car driven by Inspector Morse in the British television series of the same name (also seen on PBS).
* The character, Arthur Daley, in the British television series ''Minder'' was generally to be seen driving a [[Jaguar XJ6]], as was Robert McCall (Edward Woodward) in the 1985-89 CBS TV series ''The Equalizer''. The latter was a black '85 with the licence plate "5809-AUG".
* British Prime-Minister Tony Blair is driven in a bottle-green [[Jaguar XJ8]]. His predecessor, John Major, used a modified [[Jaguar XJ6|XJ6]]. Blair's Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott gained the nickname "Two Jags" for his use of two Jaguars, one of his own and one supplied by the Government, when he was supposed to be promoting the use of public transport.
* [[Jaguar E-type]]s are featured in the films ''The Italian Job'', ''Robbery'', ''The Odessa File'', ''Brannigan'', ''Silver Streak'', ''52 Pick-Up'', ''Car Trouble'' and ''About Adam''. An E-type also replaced Emma Peel's usual [[Lotus Elan]] for the 1998 film ''The Avengers''. Harold, of ''Harold and Maude'', had an [[Jaguar E-Type|E-type]] hearse.
* In the 1968 movie ''Danger: Diabolik'', Diabolik drove a black [[Jaguar E-Type|E-type]]. His love interest, Eva, drove a white one.
* In the 1997 film LA Confidential Pierce Morehouse Patchett (David Strathairn) is shown to have a [[Jaguar XK120]].
* In the 1980 film ''The Blues Brothers'' stunningly blonde model Twiggy is seen in a metallic gold [[Jaguar E-Type|E-type]], from which she speaks to Elwood (Dan Aykroyd).
* Austin Powers drove a Union flag-decorated [[Jaguar E-Type|E-type]], calling it a Shaguar in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.
* In Austin Powers in Goldmember, an [[Jaguar XK|XK]] cabrio painted in the same Union flag style as the [[Jaguar E-Type|E-type]] of the 1st movie. The car was driven by Tom Cruise spoofing Austin Powers.
* Mike Gambit in ''The New Avengers'' and Simon Templar in ''Return of the Saint'', both had an [[Jaguar XJS|XJ-S]] as their usual transport.
* The made-for-cable 1989 film The Heist (shown on HBO) featured two dark green Jaguar XJS coupes - they were used during a bait and switch scene where contraband was hidden in the trunk panel.
* Sting was ferried in an [[Jaguar S-Type|S-Type]] in the music video for his song Desert Rose. Because of this, the song has been used in past Jaguar commercials. While Jaguar does not use the song anymore, the song is still associated with the firm.
* The Jet Li movie ''Danny the Dog''/''Unleashed'' featured a Series 3 [[Jaguar XJ|XJ]], .
* The nickname for a Jaguar - "Jag" - is mentioned in many songs, such as Snoop Dogg's Riders On The Storm, Usher's Yeah and Lil' Flip's Rollin On 20's.
* 1950s [[Jaguar XK120]]s were used in the films ''The Green Man'' and ''Too Many Crooks'', while [[Jaguar XK150|XK150]]s were featured prominently in ''Play Misty for Me'', ''To the Devil...a Daughter'' and ''Blue Ice''.
* Leonard Shelby, the main character of ''Memento'' (2000), drives a [[Jaguar XK]] throughout the film.
* The 2002 film ''Die Another Day'' of the James Bond series of movies featured a [[Jaguar XKR]]. The car was driven by the character Zao in some scenes of the movie, including a chase/battle against Bond's [[Aston Martin]].
* In the movie ''Love Actually'', The Prime Minister of the UK (Hugh Grant) is driven around in a silver [[Jaguar XJ|XJ]].
* Angelina Jolie stole a silver [[Jaguar XJ220|XJ220]] nicknamed "[[Jaguar XJ220|Bernadene]]" in the movie ''Gone in 60 Seconds''. There was also an obscure [[Jaguar XJ|XJ]] stolen by another character.
* A maroon [[Jaguar XJ6|XJ6]] and a silver [[Jaguar XK|XK8 convertible]] were driven in the movie The 51st State, also known as ''Formula 51''.
* Halle Berry drove a red [[Jaguar XK|XK8 convertible]] in the movie ''Swordfish''.
* Ryan Phillippe can be seen driving a black [[Jaguar XK140|XK140 roadster]] in the movie ''Cruel Intentions''. It is also at stake in a wager between his character and Sarah Michelle Gellar's .
* In the song "Call Me Lightning" by The Who, there is the line "my XKE is shining so brightly" (which mis-identifies the [[Jaguar E-Type|E-type]]). In their song "Jaguar," there is the line "Every lovely spot near or far,/ You can reach them too in your car,/ Or you might be there now if you own a jag already."
* In the song "Deadman's Curve" by Jan and Dean, the [[Chevrolet Corvette|Corvette]] races an [[Jaguar E-Type|E-type]] (which is mis-identified as an XKE).
* On the British motoring show [[Top Gear]], in the "Cheap Coupes that aren't [[Porsche]]s" challenge, James May bought a "1000 year old antique" Jaguar XJS (for £1500 - approx $2500) which broke down all the time, probably due to going round the track at 140mph in the first test. Due to very good results in the first two challenges and a fixed engine in the endurance race, May won on points, but conceded the win to Clarkson, who would have won the challenge if he hadn't "ruined" his car.
*Most recently, many Jaguar [[XJ]]s were featured in the James Bond film, ''Casino Royale''. They were driven by the villians, but James Bond was chauffeured in a [[Mk IV]].
*Sacha Baron Cohen was escorted in an X308 Vanden Plas in the movie "Ali G"
