Motor Torpedo Boat (MTB) was the name given to fast torpedo boats by the Royal Navy, the Royal Canadian Navy and the United States Navy.

During World War II the US Navy boats were usually called by their hull classification symbol of "PT" (from Patrol, Torpedo) and are covered under PT boat though the class type was still "motor torpedo boat". The capitalised term is generally used for the Royal Navy (RN) boats and abbreviated to MTB. German motor torpedo boats of World War II were called S-Boote (Schnellboote German for "fast boats") by the Kriegsmarine and E-boats by the allies. Italian MTBs of this period were known as "Motoscafo Armato Silurante (MAS) translating as "torpedo armed motorboats".
