FV103 Spartansk är en bandgående pansarbandvagn i den brittiska armén. Det utvecklades som APC-varianten av familjen Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked). Fordonet kan rymma upp till sju personer, inklusive tre besättningsmedlemmar. Beväpnad med en enda maskingevär är den nästan oskiljbar från FV102 Striker i yttre utseende. I stället för en allmän personalbärare för infanteri har spartanen använts för att flytta specialistgrupper, såsom luftvärnsmissillag. En pansarvärnsvariant av Spartan har producerats, benämnd FV120 Spartan MCT; detta är beväpnat med MILAN anti-tank missiler. Nästan 500 spartaner har tjänstgjort med de brittiska väpnade styrkorna sedan de togs i tjänst 1978; De ersätts nu av nyare fordon.
