The VK 36.01(H) was a prototype heavy tank designed and built by Henschel as part of the Wehrmacht armament modernization program during World War II. The project was based on the earlier VK 30.01(H) and served as a direct link between earlier designs and the legendary Tiger I tank. It was developed in 1942 and tested by the German army in its search for the ideal armored vehicle with high firepower and durability.

Only eight hulls and a single fully constructed prototype were produced. During the development of the VK 36.01(H) project, innovative technical solutions were tested, some of which were later used in other heavy Wehrmacht tanks. The hulls were also used as armed recovery vehicles. This vehicle never went into mass production; however, it influenced the development of German armored weapons during World War II (1939-1945).
