M46, M47, M48 and M60 Patton were the U.S army's principal main battle tanks of the Cold War, with models in service from the late 1940s to the 1990s. The M-46 was the primary U.S. tank in Korea and the M-48 was the U.S. Army and Marine Corps primary tank during the Vietnam War. The M-47 saw no action while serving with the U.S. military and the M60A1 saw limited service in Desert Storm. It was widely used by U.S. Cold War allies, especially other NATO countries. The many models were named after General George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. Third Army during World War II and one of the earliest American advocates for the use of tanks in battle.

The Patton tank replaced later versions of the Shermans and the M26 Pershing. Internationally, many various Patton models remain in service. Although referred to here as Patton series, the M48 Patton and M60A1 Patton were each completely new tank designs, despite a rough similarity from a distance. The latest version of the Patton was the M60A3 variant that entered service in 1978 two years prior to the introduction of the M1 Abrams that replaced it over a ten year period (Some M48A5 models also served alongside them both as well into the 80s).
