The FV300 series was a project for a series of lightweight armoured fighting vehicles by the United Kingdom between 1947 and 1950, a few years after World War II.
The development and construction of the tank was carried out by Vickers. However, only two prototypes were built. The project ended in 1950 at the prototype stage.
