'''Tank Infantri Mark II''', paling dikenal sebagai '''Matilda''', adalah [[Tank di Angkatan Darat Inggris|Inggris]] [[tank infanteri]] dari [[Perang Dunia II|Perang Dunia Kedua]].<ref name="Jentz11">Jentz, hal.  11.</ref>

Desainnya dimulai sebagai spesifikasi '''A12''' pada tahun 1936, sebagai rekanan bersenjata untuk tank infanteri Inggris pertama, [[senapan mesin]] bersenjata, dua orang A11 [[Matilda I (tank)|  Tank Infanteri Mark I]].  Mark I juga dikenal sebagai Matilda, dan A12 yang lebih besar awalnya dikenal sebagai '''Matilda II''' atau '''Matilda senior'''.  Mark I ditinggalkan pada tahun 1940, dan sejak saat itu A12 hampir selalu dikenal sebagai "Matilda".

<p>
 Dengan baju besi yang berat, Matilda II adalah tank pendukung infanteri yang sangat baik tetapi dengan kecepatan dan persenjataan yang agak terbatas.  Itu adalah satu-satunya tank Inggris yang melayani dari awal perang sampai akhir, meskipun terutama terkait dengan [[Kampanye Afrika Utara]].  Hanya dua yang tersedia untuk layanan pada saat pecahnya Perang Dunia II pada tahun 1939.<ref name=":0">{{Cite AV media|  date=28 April 2016|title=Tank Chats #19 Matilda II |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll90l2kWCbM&t=51s|access-date=7 December 2020|via=[[YouTube]]  |publisher=The Tank Museum}}</ref> Di layanan garis depan digantikan oleh [[Valentine tank|Infantry Tank Mk III Valentine]] yang lebih ringan dan lebih murah mulai akhir tahun 1941. </p>
