The Type 143A Gepard class is Germany's last class of missile bearing fast attack craft (Schnellboot in German) and the only one still in service with the German Navy since 1990.

It is an evolution of the Type 143 Albatros class. It is planned that Gepard class vessels will gradually be supplemented by Braunschweig class corvettes and to be replaced by a new class of corvettes in the 2020s.
