A type of [[turret]] designed to be mounted on a ground [[military vehicle]], often but not exclusively a [[tank]].

Tank turrets are generally compact and low profile, smaller than naval turrets, typically seating one to three crew members. The single main [[gun]] or [[cannon]] is usually centrally-mounted and of small or medium-caliber, often 20-125mm. May also feature additional coaxial or top-mounted armament,  mostly [[machine gun]]s but occasionally smaller cannons. Tank turrets are usually fully enclosed and designed to withstand hits from anti-tank cannons and/or missiles, but can be lightly armored, open topped, or open on one or more sides. Often features a [[tank cupola|cupola]], other observation devices, and [[hatch]]es. 

This tag can be applied when only the turret is present or visible, without the rest of the vehicle, and/or when a [[mecha]], [[personification]], or other character wears or uses a tank turret as a weapon.

[b]Do not[/b] use this tag for posts only featuring a [[tank cupola|cupola]] or [[hatch]], only use if the turret structure is visible.
