Den Tung tank T29 var et amerikansk tungt tankprojekt, der blev startet i marts 1944 for at imødegå udseendet af den tyske Tiger II tunge tank. T29 var ikke klar i tide til krigen i Europa, men det gav efterkrigsingeniører muligheder for at anvende ingeniørkoncepter til artilleri og bilkomponenter.

The T29 Heavy Tank was an American heavy tank project that started in 1944 as a response to the German Tiger II heavy tank. The T29 had a powerful 105 mm gun and a thick armor that could withstand enemy fire. The T29 was based on a modified version of the T26E3 chassis, which was later used for the M26 Pershing tank. The T29 weighed about 64 tons and had a crew of six. The T29 never saw combat in World War II, but it provided valuable experience for post-war engineers and designers. The T29 was one of the first American heavy tanks and influenced the development of later models such as the M103.
