The KW-7 was a prototype Soviet self-propelled gun of World War II. Only two prototypes of the car were made in 1941, but the car never entered mass production. The vehicle was to be ultimately powered by a single engine with a power of 600 hp. It was armed with two 76.2 mm ZiS-5 cannons and two 7.62 mm DT machine guns.

When the tanks of the KW series (KW-1 and KW-2) were introduced into service, work on their development versions was started. One of such prototype versions was the KW-7, which was to be a fire support vehicle for the advancing infantry or to serve as a tank destroyer. It uses a very unusual arrangement of two large-caliber cannons placed next to each other in a stationary casemate. The original plan was to use 45mm guns, but the idea was abandoned in favor of the more versatile 76.2mm guns. The prototypes were developed in November 1941, but in December of the same year the entire project was canceled as completely non-prospective.
