The Renault R40 was a French light tank from the early stages of World War II that entered service in 1940. The tank measured approximately 4 meters in length and 1.9 meters in width, with a weight of around 12 tons.

Developed as an upgrade to the Renault R35, the R40 is often regarded as a variant of that vehicle. Compared to its predecessor, the Renault R40 featured a completely new suspension system—modeled to some extent on that of the Char B1 Bis—as well as new main armament consisting of the effective 37mm SA38 gun (with a barrel length of 35 calibers) and a standard-issue radio. These improvements gave the vehicle better off-road performance than the R35 and provided reasonably effective anti-tank capabilities, while the inclusion of a radio made command and control significantly more efficient. However, the tank did have its drawbacks: notably, it consumed far more fuel than the standard R35 and suffered from a slightly overloaded suspension. Production and entry into service largely took place either shortly before or during the French campaign of 1940; consequently, the exact number of vehicles produced remains unknown.
