2007 AMX-VCI (prantsuse keeles Véhicule de Combat d'Infanterie) on üks paljudest Prantsuse kergetanki AMX-13 variantidest. See oli Prantsuse armee eesliini soomustransportöör, kuni see asendati AMX-10P-ga. Seda kasutavad endiselt mõned riigid, näiteks Mehhiko, kus see kannab nime DNC-1 ja on relvastatud 20 mm kahuriga.
