Throttleable Liquid Propulsion Demonstrator (TLPD) is a prototype liquid-propellant rocket engine being developed by ESA.

It uses storable propellant: hydrogen peroxide and ethanol. The engine has a nominal thrust of 5 kN, and using a pintle injector, the thrust can be varied between 20% and 110%.

The development program is part of ESA's Future Launchers Preparatory Program.

Test firings were done in 2024.
