Den Bristol Type 171 Sycamore var en tidlig helikopter udviklet og bygget af helikopterafdelingen i Bristol Aeroplane Company. Navnet refererer til frøene fra sycamore-træet, Acer pseudoplatanus, som falder med en roterende bevægelse. Det har æren af at være den første britiske helikopter, der modtager et luftdygtighedsbevis, samt at være den første britisk designede helikopter, der introduceres af og tjener med Royal Air Force (RAF).
