The 7TP (siedmiotonowy polski - 7-tonne Polish) was a Polish light tank of the Second World War. It was developed from the British Vickers 6-ton. A standard tank of the Polish Army during the 1939 Polish Campaign, its production did not exceed 150 vehicles. Its chassis was used as the base for the C7P artillery tractor.
