The VK 30.01 (H) is a German prototype heavy tank developed by Henschel in Germany during World War II.

In 1937 the German Army Ordnance Office (Heereswaffenamt) had ordered the design of 30-tonne tanks from Henschel, MAN SE, and Daimler-Benz that would succeed the Panzer IV medium tank for infantry support, and was to be produced by Krupp.

To that end it would carry either the same short-barrelled 7.5 cm KwK 37 gun of the Panzer IV or a tank-mounted version of the 10.5cm leFH18/40 L/28 howitzer.

In October 1941, Krupp was asked if the 7.5 cm KwK 40 could be mounted, but the answer was negative, not without many modifications.

In 1941, the German Army requirements for armour increased and Henschel redesigned to give the VK 36.01 (H).
