The Lance Armor or Armored Lance (Japanese: ランスアーマー Lance Armor) is a basic armored class debuting in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. It is one of four weapon-specific variations of the Knight, specializing in the use of lances, and appears only in Thracia 776, Radiant Dawn, and Engage; in Genealogy of the Holy War, the Knight class itself filled its role as the basic lance-wielding armored class. It is statistically near-identical to its counterparts, the Axe Armor, Sword Armor and Bow Armor.

It is not playable in either of its earlier appearances, and as such is not tied to a class change line; in Radiant Dawn, the lance-specific Lance General would be its hypothetical class-changed form and does have two playable members: Tauroneo and Gatrie. In Engage, the class debuts as playable and can promote into a lance-wielding General and Great Knight.
