De Seehund (Duits: "zegel"), ook bekend als Type XXVII, was een dwergonderzeeër vervaardigd door nazi-Duitsland tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Ontworpen in 1944 en geëxploiteerd door tweemansbemanningen, werd het gebruikt door de Kriegsmarine (Duitse marine) tijdens de laatste maanden van de oorlog, waarbij negen koopvaardijschepen tot zinken werden gebracht en nog eens drie werden beschadigd, terwijl het 35 boten verloor, meestal toegeschreven aan slecht weer. De Franse marine gebruikte drie veroverde boten na de oorlog tot 1953.

Seehund is a German word that means seal in English. A seal is a type of marine mammal that lives partly on land and partly in the sea. There are many different species of seals, such as the harbor seal, the elephant seal, and the leopard seal. Seals have a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm in cold water, and they can dive deep and hold their breath for a long time. Seals are often hunted by humans for their fur, meat, and oil, but some species are protected by law. Seals are also known for their intelligence and curiosity, and they sometimes interact with divers and fishermen.
Seehund is also the name of a midget submarine built by Nazi Germany during World War II. It was designed to carry two crew members and two torpedoes. It was used for coastal attacks and reconnaissance missions, but it had many technical problems and was not very effective. Only 285 Seehund submarines were built, and many of them were sunk or captured by Allied forces.
