Tallboy, atau Bom, Kapasiti Sederhana, 12,000 lb, adalah sejenis bom gempa yang dicipta oleh jurutera aeronautika British Barnes Wallis dan digunakan oleh RAF semasa Perang Dunia II.
Dengan berat 5 long ton (5.1 t), ia hanya boleh diangkut oleh pesawat pengebom berat Avro Lancaster. Ia terbukti sangat berkesan terhadap struktur besar dan keras yang mana pengeboman konvensional terbukti tidak berkesan.
