Armored warfare or tank warfare is the use of armored fighting vehicles in modern warfare. It is a major component of modern methods of war. The premise of armored warfare rests on the ability of troops to penetrate conventional infantry-held defensive lines through use of maneuver of vehicles that offer protection from infantry weapons, and are able to defeat enemy supporting artillery with their own weapons included in the design, commonly a high velocity gun and machine guns.

Much of the application of armored warfare depends on the designs of these vehicles, commonly known as tanks, and on the designs of vehicles used by other supporting Arms variously known as armoured infantry and self-propelled artillery, as well as combat engineers that usually use vehicles derived from the tank or infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) designs.

The doctrine of armored warfare was developed to break the static nature of WW1 trench warfare and return to the 19th century school of thought that advocated maneuver warfare and "decisive battle" outcome in military strategy.

In OMG Armor is one of the three American doctrines.
