Bunker buster adalah bom yang dirancang untuk menembus dan menghancurkan target jauh di bawah tanah, seperti bunker militer.
Rusia membangun bunker buster KAB-500L yang dirancang untuk menghancurkan landasan pacu dan bangunan beton di atas tanah, dapat digunakan untuk mencapai target bawah tanah juga. Sedangkan Amerika memiliki sejumlah bom penghancur bunker yang salah satunya adalah GBU-39/B SDB.

"Running parallel with the development of large bombs was a project for obtaining high striking velocities by means of a rocket assisted 4,500-lb British bomb called the Disney. (...) As early as June 1945, the concrete V-weapon structure at Watten was used as a target".
