The L43 was a Salisfordian medium-tank that was first issued in late 1943, and saw used by the Royal Salisfordian Army and partial use by Salisfordian volunteers in the Creeperian Civil War. The L43 was developed from earlier tanks with lessons from the ongoing Creeperian Civil War in mind, specifically regarding maneuverability and gun velocity.

It was replaced in Salisfordian service by the L50 tank in 1949.
