The 48th Royal Tank Regiment (48 RTR) was an armoured regiment of the British Army during the Second World War. It was part of the Royal Tank Regiment, itself part of the Royal Armoured Corps.

It was originally formed as a duplicate of the 42nd Royal Tank Regiment, a newly mobilised Territorial Army unit.

It is notable for disabling the only operating Tiger tank in the world, Tiger 131 during preliminary engagements before the Battle of Longstop Hill in Tunisia, 1943.
