O ataque Doolittle (Doolittle Raid), foi o lançamento de um bombardeamento a partir da costa japonesa a 18 de Abril de 1942. O ataque — com o objectivo de servir de propaganda e resposta ao ataque a Pearl Harbor — foi planejado pelo Tenente-Coronel James Harold Doolittle, e foi possível graças ao técnico de observação, o Capitão Francis Low, que afirmou que aviões de 2 motores podiam ser lançados de porta-aviões. Testes subsequentes provaram que um B-25 Mitchell podia ser lançado com uma carga de bombas razoável, atingir alvos no Japão e depois aterrar na China.
