V BAC Jet Provost je britansko letalo za letalo, ki je bilo med 1955 in 1993 v uporabi pri Kraljevem letalstvu (RAF). Prvotno ga je razvil Hunting Percival iz prejšnjega batnega motorja na pogon Percival Provost osnovnega trenerja, kasneje pa ga je proizvedla britanska letalska korporacija (BAC). Poleg več ukazov RAF je bil jet provost, včasih z lahkim oborožitvenim orožjem, izvožen v številne letalske sile po vsem svetu. Zasnova je bila nadalje razvita tudi v težje oboroženo različico zemeljskega napada pod imenom BAC Strikemaster.
