MILAN (Missile d'Infranterie Legar ANtichar, "Infantry anti-tank missile" and also a play on the French word for "kite" because the weapon is wire-guided) is a second-generation SACLOS anti-tank missile launcher system developed in the 1960s by the Euromissile group, now known as MBDA.

France began the retirement of all MILAN systems alongside the similarly antiquated ERYX and HOT missiles in 2017: all are planned to be replaced by the MMP with first deployments in 2018 and full adoption by 2025.
