schtzngrmm is a poem written by Ernst Jandl in 1957. It was first published in a book in 1966 in Jandl's Laut and Luise poetry collection.

The poem's title derives from "Schützengraben," the German word for military trenches, which becomes "schtzngrmm" when vowels are removed and consonants are shifted to mimic colloquial pronunciation. Within the poem, the individual consonants are pronounced as onomatopoeia for the sounds of machine guns and grenades used in trench warfare. "schtzngrmm" is one of Jandl's best known poems about the war and a common example of concrete poetry.
