thumb|right|Jagdpanzer IV at the Deutsches Panzermuseum ' ("tank destroyer") (JgPz') is the name given in German to an armored, tracked tank destroyer, although it may also be used for other kinds of self-propelled guns.
It typically refers to anti-tank variants of existing tank chassis with an armored casemate superstructure that mount an anti-tank gun with limited traverse in the front. These vehicles were classified by the western Allies of World War II as a tank destroyer.
