The Short Spear (Japanese: ショートスピア Short Spear) is a throwing lance which was introduced in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. It is a mid-level throwing lance, falling between the Javelin and Spear in terms of power and weapon level, and like these two it is able to attack at both close and distant range.

Trivia
- Despite its name, the Short Spear's length in all of its appearances except Three Houses is just as long as all other lances in the series.
- In Three Houses, due to its small size, the Short Spear uses sword animations instead of lance animations during combat.
- The Short Spear is one of the few weapons from Three Houses that did not reappear in Three Hopes.

Short Spear |
-- |
| Japanese |
ショートスピア |
Romanized as SHORTSPEAR in its internal file name in Radiant Dawn. Referred to in internal files of Path of Radiance as AXEBASTER, after the Axereaver from other games.[1] |
| Spanish |
• Antihachas |
• Anti-axes. The weapon is known by this name in the Spanish version of Path of Radiance due to an error, as this is actually the Spanish name of the Axereaver. The error was probably caused by the spear's file name in that game, "AXEBASTER", which is the Japanese name of the Axereaver. |
| French |
• Petit épieu |
• Little spear. Used in other titles. |
