Komisia Bristol Typ 192 Belvedere je britský dvojmotorový vojenský vrtuľník s tandemovým rotorom vyrobený spoločnosťou Bristol Aeroplane Company. Bol navrhnutý Raoulom Hafnerom pre rôzne prepravné úlohy vrátane prepravy vojsk, zhadzovania zásob a evakuácie obetí. V rokoch 1961 až 1969 ho prevádzkovalo Kráľovské letectvo (RAF). Belvedere bol jediný britský vrtuľník s tandemovým rotorom, ktorý vstúpil do výroby, a jeden z mála, ktorý nepostavili Piasecki alebo Boeing.
