The Tank Memorial Badge (German: Kampfwagen-Erinnerungsabzeichen) was a military decoration of the Weimar Republic awarded to former tank crewmen who fought in World War I.

Officially known as Memorial Badge for former German tank crews (German: Erinnerungsabzeichen für die ehemaligen Besatzungen deutscher Kampfwagen) it was usually referred to as Tank Memorial Badge or simply Tank Badge (Kampfwagenabzeichen). Draft cards of this era show that it was sometimes written as Tank-Abzeichen.
