Komisia K2 Čierny panter (Hangul: K2 "흑표"; Hanja: K2 '黑豹') je juhokórejský hlavný bojový tank novej generácie navrhnutý Juhokórejskou agentúrou pre rozvoj obrany a vyrobený spoločnosťou Hyundai Rotem. Vyvinutý ako moderný hlavný bojový tank, ktorý nahradí väčšinu zostávajúcich tankov M48 Patton a doplní sériu hlavných bojových tankov K1, ktoré v súčasnosti namierila juhokórejská armáda, K2 Black Panther kombinuje auto-naloženú hlavnú zbraň kalibru 55 120 mm, pokročilé kompozitné pancierovanie spolu s tvrdými a mäkkými aktívnymi ochrannými systémami. Masová výroba sa začala v roku 2013 a prvé K2 boli rozmiestnené s ozbrojenými silami v júni 2014. K2 stojí viac ako 8,5 milióna USD na jednotku, čo z neho robí jeden z najdrahších hlavných bojových tankov v prevádzke, akéhokoľvek národa.
