The Ordnance QF 20 pounder (known as 20 pounder, 20 pdr or simply 20-pr) was a British 84 mm (3.307 inch) tank gun. It was introduced in 1948 and used in the Centurion main battle tank, Charioteer medium tank, and Caernarvon Mark II heavy tank. After the 20 pounder gun was found to have inadequate performance against the Soviet T-54 the gun was mostly replaced in service by the larger calibre 105 mm L7 gun.

Venne introdotto nel 1948 e montato sul carro da battaglia Centurion, sul carro armato medio Charioteer e sul carro armato pesante Conqueror. Il pezzo era destinato a sostituire l'Ordnance QF 17 lb da 76,2 mm, che aveva dato buona prova durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Tuttavia il 20 pdr venne ritenuto inadeguato contro le corazze dei carri sovietici T-54 e i pezzi in servizio vennero quasi totalmente rimpiazzati dal più potente Royal Ordnance L7 da 105 mm.
