Panzer Division Marduk is the sixth studio album by Swedish black metal band Marduk. It was recorded and mixed at The Abyss in January 1999 and released in June 1999 by Osmose Productions. The theme of the album is war, as Nightwing was blood, and La Grande Danse Macabre (the band's next studio album) would be death, forming a trilogy of "Blood, War and Death," Marduk's vision of what black metal is. Panzer Division Marduk was the last Marduk release by Osmose Productions.

The concept of WW2 in literally every track initially led many proponents of NSBM to consider the band akin to them, notwithstanding the fact that vocalist Legion and guitarist/composer Morgan publicly debunked this rumor, saying that Marduk has no political point in their lyrics, and the band has nothing to do with Nazi views. Panzer Division Marduk earned a lot of backlash from National Socialist black metal bands, mainly Ukraine's Nokturnal Mortum (vocalist and guitarist Knjaz Varggoth stated once in reference to Marduk that he'd like to "rip apart those Jew fuckers" for disgracing Nazi ideology.
