The Fiat 2000 was an Italian heavy tank designed and produced by Fiat during World War I. Only two were built as it never entered serial production. It was heavily armed and armoured, but lacked mobility and after seeing limited service in Libya in 1919, it was largely replaced by locally built Renault FT and later on, Fiat 3000 light tanks.
