The Alfa Romeo 145 and 146 were compact hatchbacks produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo from 1994 to 2001. These models marked a significant shift for Alfa Romeo, moving away from the traditional rear-wheel-drive layout towards a more practical and affordable front-wheel-drive platform. The 145 and 146 were designed with an emphasis on sporty handling and driving dynamics, despite being positioned as entry-level models. They shared a common platform, known as the "Tipo" platform, which was also used in other Fiat Group vehicles like the Fiat Bravo/Brava and Lancia Delta.

The 145, with its distinctive three-door body style, was aimed at a younger audience looking for a stylish and sporty hatchback. The 146, on the other hand, offered a more traditional five-door configuration, making it a more practical choice for families. Both models were offered with a range of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, paired with manual or automatic transmissions. The 145 and 146 were praised for their agile handling, responsive engines, and engaging driving experience. While not as sophisticated as the larger Alfa Romeo models of the time, they remained true to the brand's heritage by offering a unique blend of Italian style and performance.
