Dazzle camouflage, also known as razzle dazzle or dazzle painting, was a type of ship camouflage used extensively in World War I and to a lesser extent in World War II. It consists of a series of highly contrasting color bands or angular shapes, often black and white, set at irregular angles. The purpose of dazzle camouflage is not to conceal or obscure a target, but to confuse visual spotting and range-finding so it cannot be effectively attacked.

Classic dazzle camouflage notable appears on the turrets of Kantai Collection's [[haruna (kancolle)|Haruna Kai Ni]]. The camouflage used by [[zuikaku (kancolle)|Zuikaku]], [[zuihou (kancolle)|Zuihou]], [[chitose (kancolle)|Chitose]] and [[chiyoda (kancolle)|Chiyoda]] is sometimes called dazzle camouflage, though it's function was different, in that it was intended to disrupt and disguise the ships' flight decks.
