The Walther MPL is submachine developed in West Germany by Carl Walther GmbH. It was produced from 1963 to 1987 and saw service during the Vietnam War. In addition, it also saw service with the West German police forces, the Mexican Navy and the Portuguese Naval forces.

The Walther MPL uses the 9x19mm Parabellum round and feeds from a 32 or 20-round detachable box magazine. Some versions of the Walther MP were also chambered for the .380 ACP round. The MPL is accurate up to a range of 200 meters.

The Walther MPL has a close variant designated as the MPK. The only difference between both these versions lies in the length of the barrel. The MPL has a longer barrel when compared with the MPK.
