Leyland Armoured Car refers to four armoured cars, built between 1934 and 1940, which were used by the Irish Army. The first Leyland Armoured Car was built in 1934, and three more were built by 1940. The Leylands served with the Irish Army until 1972, and with the reserve An Fórsa Cosanta Áitiúil (FCA) until the early 1980s.
