"Panzerfaust" is the fifth album by Norwegian black metal band, Darkthrone. It was released in 1995 and was their first album with record label Moonfog Productions. It is also their second and final album to feature some lyrics by the infamous black metal musician Varg Vikernes.

Much of the album is similar in style to early Celtic Frost; particularly the songs "Triumphant Gleam", "The Hordes of Nebulah" and "Beholding the Throne of Might". However, the sound production, continuing in a similar "raw" vein to that of "Transilvanian Hunger", has encountered some criticisms. The vocals are mixed loudly so that the instruments seem to get quieter during vocal parts.
