The SdKfz 10 was a German half-track that saw limited use in World War II, it could carry eight infantry and tow anti-tank guns. Approximately 17,000 were produced between 1937 and 1944. The design was further developed into the SdKfz 250.

Development of the vehicle was begun in 1932 by Demag, with the first prototype being ready in 1934. Full production started in 1937 and continued until 1944.
