The {{nihongo|'''Nissan Patrol'''|日産・パトロール|Nissan Patorōru|lead=yes}} is a series of large [[four-wheel drive]] vehicles manufactured by [[Nissan]] in Japan and sold throughout the world.

Nissan Australia claimed that the 60 series Patrol was the first vehicle to drive across the [[Simpson Desert]] in Australia, and built much publicity around the 50th anniversary of the event, including a re-enactment with a similar vehicle ending on 21 July 2012 to publicise the impending release of their new-generation Y62.

Nissan acquired a 35.85% stake in Motor Ibérica in 1980, which was increased to 54.68% in 1982.<ref name=nouv>{{cite journal | journal=Le Moniteur de l'Automobile | page= 24 | title= Un constructeur Japonais fabrique en Europe! | trans-title = A Japanese manufacturer builds in Europe! | editor-last = Visart | editor-first = Etienne | location=Brussels, Belgium | language=fr | volume=34 | number=764 | date=10 March 1983 | ref = mon764 | publisher=Editions Auto-Magazine }}</ref> In early 1983, the first Spanish-made Nissan Patrol left the plant in [[Zona Franca]], near Barcelona.

The alternative model codes of GR and GQ were applied to leftright-hand and rightleft-hand drive models, respectively.

Changes in 1995 featured a minor facelift, with a redesigned front grille and the RX model entering Australia. Known weaknesses included vibrations from the front end (largely fixed under warranty), cracking hinges on the rear door (due to the spare tyre's weight), and rust on rear window frames. The RD28T and TB42 engines suffered from [[head gasket]] issues when driven with a heavy foot. European five-speed gearboxes suffered from bearing failures in fifth gear at high mileages. However, the TD42 was highly reliable, as long as it received proper cooling. Patrols are known for their strong axles and good limited slip differential (when so equipped).

That same year, Nissan stopped selling the Safari in Japan due to poor sales. Nissan also made a two-door pickup version of the Y61 series available as cab chassis and with a style side tray in some markets. The Pickup entered production at the Nissan Shatai plant in April 2011.<ref name=ShataiHist/> Although a new modelgeneration Patrol/Safari was launched, this Y61 series stillwas sellskept in production until 2022 for offroadusers enthusiastswho butrequired witha more rugged, fewsimpler optionsvehicle.

The Y61 is alsowas still being produced for and used by United Nations agencies across different countries as well as some military branches and government sectors. They are mainly being used as security escorts vehicles, chief personnel carriers and off pavement patrol units. Production finally ended in 2023, and the model listing has been removed from official Nissan websites as of 2024.
