The Opel Junior is one concept car, which was designed, and produced, by the German automobile manufacturer, Opel. It was first shown, to the public, at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1983. The small 3.41 m (134.3 in) long three door supermini was powered by one 1.2 litre petrol engine, developing 55 bhp (41 kW; 56 PS).

It featured a particularly low drag coefficient of Cd=0.31, and the low kerb weight of 650 kg (1,430 lb). The interior design was modular, with the dashboard elements being removable, such as the stereo and clock, and the seat covers, could be used, as sleeping bags. The design of the Opel Junior was based on the Opel Corsa, and it was one three door hatchback (two door, front engine).

The nameplate, Junior, was used as the codename, for the Opel Adam, which was released in the end of 2012. The official name of the car, was confirmed, in April 2012.
