A mid-cut helmet or gunfighter cut helmet is a combat helmet that is roughly a compromise between a full-cut helmet and a high-cut helmet, providing a similar profile and some of the extensive protection of a full-cut helmet while also allowing for the light weight and ear protection mounting permitted by a high-cut helmet.

The lighter weight and non-ballistic nature of these helmets allowed the fitting of additional accessories without putting undue strain on the neck or requiring the drilling of holes through Kevlar to affix night vision mounting brackets, compromising the Kevlar helmet's protective ability if not done precisely.
