The SdKfz 11 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 11) was a half-track military vehicle used by the German Wehrmacht during the Second World War.

It was initially intended to be used as a gun tractor. These guns could range from the 3.7 cm FlaK 43 anti-aircraft gun up to the 10.5 cm leFH 18 field howitzer. In the field however it was constantly used to transport things beyond its designated limits. This vehicle is not well known but played a critical role in the German war effort and served from the beginning until the end of World War II.^{[citation needed]}
