The MS-06J Zaku II Ground Type is one of several variants of the MS-06 Zaku II line of Mobile Suits.

A modified version of the MS-06F Zaku II designed for ground combat, the J-type superficially resembled the F-type, but had many internal differences. It removed any space-use equipment that would have become dead weight under gravity, reduced the oxidizer in the propellant, and adopted an air cooling system, leading to a completely different basic structure around its reactor. Due to the removal of unnecessary equipment, it was lighter compared to the F-type, leading to less power loss under gravity.

The MS-06J rolled out in late September, U.C. 0078, at Zeonic's Mahal factory, around the same time as the F-type's rollout. By the time the Principality of Zeon announced national mobilization in October of the same year, around 80 units of MS-06J had already been produced. However, full production of the J-type only began after Zeon launched its invasion of Earth in February, U.C. 0079. It was mostly produced from Granada and, following its capture, the California Base.
