The Panther Command and Liaison Vehicle (or Panther CLV)is a wheeled vehicle developed for the British Army. The Panther CLV came from the Future Command and Liaison Vehicle (FCLV) project. In concept and appearance it is similar to the US HMMWV, a large 4 wheel drive 5 seater vehicle. The design is BAE Systems Multirole Light Vehicle (MLV), itself developed from a design by Iveco of Italy. The vehicle to is to be assembled at BAE Systems Land Systems' factory in Newcastle.

The vehicles will be built in the period 2006–2009 to replace a number of vehicles used in the command and liaison roles which have reached the end of their useful life. These include Land Rover Wolf, FV432 Armoured Personnel Carriers and some of the CVR(T) range. There will be an armed and an unarmed version; the armed version having a roof mounted weapon mount that is operated from inside the vehicle.
