The Type 80 (Chinese: 80式; pinyin: BālíngShì) and the Type 88 (Chinese: 88式; pinyin: Bābāshì) is a family of Chinese second-generation main battle tanks (MBTs). They are also known as the ZTZ80 and ZTZ88.

Type 88 was the first design of the Type 88 series. This variant never went into mass production.

None of the Type 80 prototypes entered domestic service. The Type 80 variant entered PLA service has been designated the Type 88. Visually resembled the Type 80-II.[6] Improved variants known as the Type 88B and Type 88A later entered service. Both variants of the tank employed the same chassis and round turret but had differences in their firepower and fire control system and the ability to mount Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA). The Type 85-III was designated the Type 88C for domestic production. The Type 88C was renamed as the Type 96 and further upgraded in the 1990s and 2000s. As of 2021, the Type 88A is still in active PLA service.
