The maneuverable reentry vehicle (abbreviated MARV or MaRV) is a type of ballistic missile warhead capable of shifting targets in flight. Refer to atmospheric reentry.

There are several types, of which examples include:

• the active radar terminal-guidance version with pinpoint accuracy for the MGM-31C Pershing II missile
• B-611
• DF-15
• the high hypersonic land-based anti-ship ballistic missile variant of the DF-21
• DF-31
• DF-41
• JL-2
• the warheads used by the Topol-M and RS-24 missile which are designed to defeat most US ABM systems.
