The '''"Nahuel" D.L. 43 tank''' was a medium tank developed in Argentina during the Second World War. The designer was Lt. Colonel Alfredo Baisi. It was armed with a 75mm gun (taken from the Krupp Model 1909 Field Gun used by the Argentine Army) in a rotating armored turret.

Its design is similar to that of the US Army [[M4 Sherman|Medium Tank M4]] "Sherman", with bogies akin those of the early versions of the M3 and M4 medium tanks but with sloped armor.

Only 16 were produced by the "Arsenal Esteban de Luca" in [[Buenos Aires]] and supplied to the [[Argentine Army]], because of the availability of cheap surplus "Sherman" tanks, several of which were provided by Great Britain in the late 40's.

The meaning of the name "Nahuel" is "Tiger" in [[Araucano]] (an aboriginal language from the [[Patagonia]] region).
