Powered Battle Armor refers to an armored suit for an infantryman with an exoskeletal supporting structure and an "enhanced" musculature, typically necessary due to the great mass of the armor.

Classic examples include Heinlein's Mobile Infantry, Battletech's Battle Armor (Elementals), and marine powered armor in Weber's Honorverse.
