Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV) adalah kendaraan intai amfibi berlapis baja yang digunakan Angkatan Darat Australia. Kendaraan ini memiliki delapan roda dan dapat diangkut melalui darat, laut, ataupun udara (misalnya dengan pesawat C-130 Hercules). ASLAV dilengkapi dengan GPS, sistem navigasi internal, dan sarana komunikasi radio. Kendaraan ini dapat mencapai kecepatan 100 km/h dan dengan tangki penuh dapat menjangkau hingga 660 km. Penggerak 8 roda (8WD)-nya ditujukan untuk operasi di medan berat dan memberikan redundansi. Kendaraan ini dirancang dapat beroperasi jika hanya empat dari delapan penggeraknya berfungsi, dan juga dalam kondisi semua roda bocor. Kendaraan ini dapat dikendalikan di air dengan kecepatan hingga 10 km/jam menggunakan baling-baling di belakangnya.[1][2] Kendaraan ini dibuat oleh General Dynamics Land Systems dari Kanada, dan dikembangkan dari kendaraan LAV-25 dan Bison milik Angkatan Darat Kanada.
