O Colt Automatic Rifle-15 ou CAR-15 era uma família de armas de fogo baseadas no rifle M16 comercializadas pela Colt nos anos 60 e início dos anos 70. No entanto, o termo "CAR-15" é mais comumente associado com o Colt Commando (AKA: XM177), essas carabinas de fogo seletivo têm canos ultracurtos de 10,5 polegadas (270 mm) e 11,5 polegadas (290 mm) com supressores de flash de grandes dimensões. O nome CAR-15 foi uma tentativa de voltar a associar o nome AR-15 com a Colt, uma vez que o AR inicialmente representava o Rifle ArmaLite, o fabricante original do AR-15. Posteriormente, a Colt abandonou o conceito CAR-15, mas continuou a fazer variações de carabina, usando a marca "M16" para modelos de fogo seletivo e a marca "Colt AR-15" para modelos semiautomáticos. No entanto, no uso atual, "CAR-15" é o nome genérico para todas as variantes de comprimento de carabina feitas antes da carabina M4.
