The '''FNA-B 43''' (also called '''F.N.A.-B Modello 1943''' and '''FNAB-43''') is an Italian submachine gun. It was designed in ''Fabbrica Nazionale d'Armi di Brescia'' (Brescia National Arms Factory) in 1942. About 7,000 items, manufactured in 1943-1944, were issued to German and Italian RSI (Repubblica Sociale Italiana) troops.

The design was influenced by several existing submachine guns, such as the [[MP40|MP 40]] and [[Kiraly Submachine Gun|Danuvia 43.M]].
