The AN/SPG-53 was a United States Navy Gun Fire-control radar (International Telecommunication Union classification: radiolocation land station in the radiolocation service), used in conjunction with the Mark 68 gun fire-control system.

It was used with the 5"/54 caliber Mark 42 gun system aboard Belknap-classcruisers, Mitscher class, Forrest Sherman class, Farragut class and Charles F. Adams-classdestroyers and Knox-classfrigates of the US Navy, as well as Australian Perth-class destroyers and Spanish Baleares-class frigates.[2]

In accordance with the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/SPG-53" designation represents the 53rd design of an Army-Navy electronic device for waterborne fire control radar system. The JETDS system also now is used to name all Department of Defense electronic systems.
