FV103 spartansk er et beltegående pansret personellkjøretøy fra den britiske hæren. Den ble utviklet som APC-varianten av Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) -familien. Kjøretøyet kan frakte opptil syv personell, inkludert tre besetningsmedlemmer. Bevæpnet med en enkelt maskinpistol, er det nesten umulig å skille fra FV102 Striker i eksternt utseende. I stedet for et generelt personellkjøretøy for infanteri, har spartaneren blitt brukt til å flytte spesialistteam, for eksempel antiluftskytsmissilteam. En anti-tank variant av Spartan har blitt produsert, kalt FV120 Spartan MCT; dette er bevæpnet med MILAN anti-tank missiler. Nesten 500 spartanere har tjenestegjort i det britiske forsvaret siden de ble tatt i bruk i 1978; De blir nå erstattet av nyere biler.
