Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este (Italian for 'Competition of Elegance of Villa d'Este') is a Concours d'Elegance event in Italy for classic and vintage cars. It takes place annually near the Villa d'Este hotel in Cernobbio, on the western shore of Lake Como in northern Italy. Since 2011, the event has taken place in the second half of May.

BMW Group has organised the event, jointly with the Villa d'Este hotel, since 2009.[1][2][3][4] Visitors can admire about fifty cars, all built between the 1920s and the 1970s, organized in different categories.

Car makers also take advantage of the event to showcase some of their upcoming models. For example, a working Aston Martin One-77 was officially unveiled to the press during the 2009 event.[5]
