The Kia Carnival (Korean: 기아 카니발) is a minivan manufactured by Kia since 1998. It is marketed globally under various nameplates, prominently as the Kia Sedona.

The first generation Carnival was introduced in January 1998,^[1] and was marketed in a single, short wheelbase version. Second generation models were marketed (2006–2014) in short and long wheelbase variants. A rebadged variant of the second generation was offered in North America as the Hyundai Entourage (2007–2009).^[2] Beginning in 2010, the second generation model received updated equipment, including Kia's corporate Tiger Nose grille, as introduced by its then new design chief, Peter Schreyer. Kia introduced its third generation minivan in 2014, solely in a long wheelbase format. The fourth generation was introduced in 2020, when Kia also began using the Carnival nameplate worldwide.
