Fanta Red (previously known as "Fanta Red Cream Soda") is a flavor of Fanta, first released in 1964. It eventually discontinued in 1993, presumably due to Barq's Red Creme Soda later taking its place. In 2020, it was re-released as a soda fountain exclusive only in a Texas-based Mexican restaurant called "Rosa's Cafe Tortilla Factory."

The ingredients listed for Fanta Red include carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, natural flavors, citric acid, sodium benzoate (to protect taste), and red 40.
