The M35, known during development as the EX35 and XM35,[1][2] is an American 105 mm caliber low-recoil tank gun.

The M35 was developed for the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps Mobile Protected Gun Program of the early 1980s. It was integrated onto the Marine Corps LAV-105, and the U.S. Army's M8 Armored Gun System and M10 Booker vehicles.
