The Fiat Tipo 15 is a bus and light military truck produced by Fiat Veicoli Industriali. Introduced in 1911, the Tipo 15 was used by the Royal Italian Army in the Italo-Turkish War and in the First World War.

It was also produced in the Soviet Union as the AMO F-15.

The Fiat 15 chassis is on four-spoke wheels, the front steering wheels and the rear driving and twin wheels. The front engine on the Fiat 15 is a 3,053 cm3 (186.3 cu in) four-cylinder petrol Fiat Brevetti 15/20, innovative due to the presence of a fuel pump instead of gravity feed. The Fiat 15 bis maintains the same engine, while the Fiat 15 ter is fitted with a more powerful 4,398 cm3 (268.4 cu in) Fiat 53A petrol engine, with the speed going from 35 to 40 km/h (22 to 25 mph) and steel disc wheels.
