L'Hawker Typhoon fu un aereo monomotore, monoplano ad ala bassa progettato dall'azienda britannica Hawker Aircraft sul finire degli anni trenta come aereo da caccia con il quale sostituire il precedente Hurricane, di recente entrato in servizio. Alcuni problemi nello sviluppo ritardarono la sua messa in opera ma, una volta risolti, diventò il principale cacciabombardiere della Royal Air Force durante il secondo conflitto mondiale. Rimase in servizio fino al 1945, quando fu rimpiazzato dall'Hawker Tempest.
