The Škoda 7.5 cm Gebirgskanone M. 15 (Czech: 7,5cm horský kanón M 15; Bulgarian: 75-мм планинско оръдие "Шкода") was a mountain gun used by Austria-Hungary in World War I. In German service, it was known as the 7,5cm Škoda Geb. K. M. 15. The Italians designated them as the Obice da 75/13 and the Wehrmacht would designate captured guns as 7.5 cm GebK 259(i) after the surrender of Italy in 1943.
