The Tucker Sno-Cat is a tracked vehicle or a family of tracked vehicles for snow conditions. Different models have been used for expeditions in the Arctic and the Antarctic during the second half of the 20th century. It differs from other truck-sized snow vehicles, commonly known as Snowcats, by its use of four independently mounted sets of tracks.

Sno-Cat is also the name of a Commodore_64 computer game, which featured the above vehicle racing up a mountain to rescue stranded skiing party.
