Die BGM-71 TOW ("Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided" – Deutsch: "Rohrstart, optisch gelenkt, drahtgeführt") ist eine amerikanische Panzerabwehrrakete. Die TOW ersetzte viel kleinere Raketen wie die SS.10 und ENTAC und bot etwa die doppelte effektive Reichweite, einen leistungsstärkeren Sprengkopf sowie eine deutlich verbesserte halbautomatische Steuerung über Sichtverbindung (SACLOS – „semi-automatic command to line of sight“), die auch mit Infrarotkameras für den nächtlichen Einsatz ausgestattet werden konnte.
