Um fuzil de assalto ^{(português brasileiro)} ou espingarda de assalto ^{(português europeu)} é qualquer rifle de fogo seletivo que utilize cartuchos de calibre intermediário e um carregador destacável.^[1] O primeiro uso destas armas se deu na Segunda Guerra Mundial.^[2]^[3]^[4] Lentamente, ao longo do século XX, tornou-se a arma de escolha para a maioria dos exércitos ao redor do mundo, substituindo as submetralhadoras e outras armas.^[4] Exemplos de armas classificadas como fuzis de assalto incluem a StG 44, a AK-47 e a M16.^[4]

O termo "fuzil de assalto" é geralmente atribuído a Adolf Hitler, que, por motivos de propaganda, utilizou a palavra alemã "Sturmgewehr" (que se traduz como "fuzil de assalto", ou mais literalmente "fuzil de tempestade"), como o nome para a nova arma alemã MP43, subsequentemente conhecida como Sturmgewehr 44 ou StG 44.^[2]^[4]^[5]^[6] O grau de envolvimento de Hitler na escolha do nome é, todavia, disputado.^[7] Atualmente, o termo "fuzil de assalto" é utilizado para designar armas com características semelhantes à StG 44.^[2]^[4]
