107 mm gun M1910/30 (Russian: 107-мм пушка образца 1910/30 годов, romanizedpushka obraztsa M1910/1930 godov, English: "Cannon Model of 1910 / year of 1930") was a Soviet 106.7 mm field gun.

The gun was based on an artillery piece originally developed by the French arms manufacturer Schneider prior to World War I and used by the Russian Empire as the 107 mm gun M1910. The modernized variant, adopted in 1931, differed from the original design mainly by having a larger chamber and longer barrel, resulting in longer range. The M1910/30 remained in production until the mid-1930s and was employed by the Red Army in World War II, mainly in corps artillery and Reserve of the Main Command units.

A number of captured guns were used by the Wehrmacht.
