Centurion er en britisk produceret kampvogn, der kom frem lige efter 2. verdenskrig. Den britiske hær anvendte Centurions i Koreakrigen. Derudover har Israel moderniseret deres Centurions med bl.a. dieselmotorer og anvendt dem i diverse mellemøstkrige. Den danske hær modtog Centurion i 1953 og den var indtil 1976 Hærens primære kampvogn. I 1982 blev Centurion moderniseret med natkikkerter, infrarøde kameraer og laserafstandsmålere. I 1999 blev Centurion helt udfaset i Danmark.
