MP 40 (niem. Maschinenpistole 40) – niemiecki pistolet maszynowy kalibru 9 mm, zasilany nabojem 9 × 19 mm Parabellum, produkowany w czasie II wojny światowej. Popularnie nazywany Schmeisserem, choć w istocie niemiecki konstruktor Hugo Schmeisser stworzył tylko magazynek.

The MP38 and MP40 fire the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge from a 32 round double stack single feed magazine. Rate of fire is rather low at 500 to 550 rpm. Combined with the weight this makes fully automatic fire rather controllable for an open bolt sub machine gun.
