The Ordnance QF 25-pounder, or more simply 25-pounder or 25-pdr, was the major British field gun and howitzer during World War II. It was introduced into service just before the war started, combining high-angle and direct-fire, relatively high rates of fire, and a reasonably lethal shell in a highly mobile piece. It remained the British Army’s primary artillery field piece well into the 1960s, with smaller numbers serving in training units until the 1980s. Many Commonwealth of Nations countries used theirs in active or reserve service until about the 1970s and ammunition for the weapon is currently being produced by Pakistan Ordnance Fac.

Šis ginklas iššovė visus užtaisus, 1 – 3 ir Super. 1942 m. prie pistoleto buvo pritvirtintas snukio stabdys, kad būtų pašalintas nestabilumas, atsiradęs šaudant 20 svarų AP apvalkalu su "Charge Super" tiesioginės ugnies žemo aukščio kampais. Siekiant išsaugoti ginklo pusiausvyrą ant atramų, taip pat buvo pritvirtintas atsvaros svoris, tiesiai priešais atramos žiedą. Modifikuoto pistoleto pavadinimas nebuvo pakeistas. Galų gale visi Europoje tarnaujantys ginklai buvo taip konvertuoti.
