Der Denel Rooivalk (früher als AH-2 und CSH-2 bezeichnet) ist ein Kampfhubschrauber des südafrikanischen Herstellers Denel Aviation. Rooivalk ist Afrikaans und bedeutet "Roter Falke", was sich auf den Rötelfalken bezieht. Die Entwicklung des Typs begann 1984 durch die Atlas Aircraft Corporation, seine Entwicklung ist eng mit dem Transporthubschrauber Atlas Oryx verbunden, da beide Flugzeuge auf dem Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma basieren und gleichzeitig mit der Entwicklung begonnen haben.
