O BTR-152 (também conhecido como BTR-140) foi um veículo blindado de transporte de pessoal soviético não anfíbio (БТР, de Бронетранспортер/Bronetransporter, literalmente "transportador blindado") †) que entrou no serviço soviético em 1950. No início da década de 1970, ele havia sido substituído no papel de veículo de infantaria pelo BTR-60. No entanto, permaneceu em serviço no Exército Soviético e no Exército Russo até 1993 em uma variedade de outras funções. Também foi exportado para muitos países do Terceiro Mundo.

O BTR-152 is a Soviet armored personnel carrier that was developed on the basis of the ZIS-151 truck. It was adopted by the Armed Forces of the USSR in 1950 and served as the main vehicle for motorized rifle units until the introduction of the amphibious BTR-60 series in the 1960s. The BTR-152 had a six-wheeled configuration and a welded steel armor that provided protection against small arms fire and shell fragments. It could carry up to 18 passengers, who entered and exited through two hatches on either side of the hull. The BTR-152 was armed with a single 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun mounted on a pintle on top of the hull, and optionally two more machine guns on side mounts.
O BTR-152 had several variants, including a command vehicle with a higher roofline, an anti-aircraft vehicle with a twin 14.5mm machine gun mount, and an artillery tractor. The BTR-152 was used by many Warsaw Pact countries and other Soviet allies, and saw combat in various conflicts such as the Hungarian Revolution, the Suez Crisis, the Six-Day War, and the Vietnam War. The BTR-152 was gradually replaced by more modern and capable armored personnel carriers, but some remained in service until the late 20th century.
