Canhão de mão (o mesmo que bombarda de mão ou bombarda portável) é o termo utilizado para se referir aos canhões portáveis.

Soldado suíço disparando um canhão de mão, com saco de pólvora e vareta a seus pés, c. final do século XIV (produzido em 1874)

O canhão de mão é a primeira arma de fogo verdadeira e a sucessora da lança de fogo.[1] É o tipo mais antigo de arma de fogo portátil, bem como a forma mecanicamente mais simplista de armas de fogo de cano de metal. Ao contrário das armas de fecho de mecha, o canhão de mão requer ignição externa manual direta através de um orifício de toque sem qualquer tipo de mecanismo de disparo. [carece de fontes?]

O canhão de mão também pode ser considerado um precursor das armas curtas. O canhão de mão foi amplamente utilizado na China a partir do século XIII e, posteriormente, em toda a Eurásia no século XIV. Na Europa do século XV, o canhão de mão evoluiu para se tornar o arcabuz de fecho de mecha, que se tornou a primeira arma de fogo a ter um gatilho.[2]
