The Toldi was the Hungarian light tank, based on the Swedish Landsverk L-60B tank. It was named after the 14th century Hungarian knight Miklós Toldi.

The 38M Toldi was produced and developed under license from Swedish company AB Landsverk between 1939 and 1942. Only 202 were produced.
- Toldi I (k.hk. A20) - first variant armed with 20 mm gun, 80 made.
- Toldi II (k.hk. B20) - variant with thicker front armour, 110 made.
- Toldi IIa (k.hk. B40) - modification developed in 1942, armed with 40 mm gun - 80 tanks of earlier variant were rearmed this way.
- Toldi III (k.hk. C40) - improved variant, only 12 made.
Toldi tanks entered Hungarian service in 1940. First saw action along with Germans against Yugoslavia in 1941.
These tanks were mostly used against the USSR in 1941-1944. For their light armour and armament and good radios, they were used mostly for reconnaissance. The design was no match against Soviet T-34 medium tanks.
