Fotogalleri af en Leopard 2E, The Leopard 2e (E står for España, spansk for Spanien) er en variant af den tyske Leopard 2 hovedkampvogn, skræddersyet til kravene fra den spanske hær, som erhvervede den som en del af et våbenmoderniseringsprogram ved navn Programa Coraza eller Program Breastplate. Anskaffelsesprogrammet for Leopard 2E begyndte i 1994, fem år efter annulleringen af Lince-tankprogrammet, der kulminerede i en aftale om at overføre 108 Leopard 2A4'er til den spanske hær i 1998 og startede den lokale produktion af Leopard 2E i december 2003. På trods af udsættelse af produktionen på grund af fusionen i 2003 mellem Santa Bárbara Sistemas og General Dynamics og fortsatte fabrikationsproblemer mellem 2006 og 2007 er 219 Leopard 2E'er blevet leveret til den spanske hær.
