Den BAC Jet Provost er et britisk jettræningsfly, der var i brug med Royal Air Force (RAF) fra 1955 til 1993. Den blev oprindeligt udviklet af Hunting Percival fra den tidligere stempelmotordrevne Percival Provost basistræner, og senere produceret af British Aircraft Corporation (BAC). Ud over de mange RAF-ordrer blev Jet Provost, nogle gange med let bevæbning, eksporteret til mange luftvåben verden over. Designet blev også videreudviklet til en mere tungt bevæbnet jordangrebsvariant under navnet BAC Strikemaster.
