Westland Wessex byl britský vrtulník vyráběný společností Westland v somersetském Yeovilu, jako licenční varianta amerického typu Sikorsky S-58 odlišující se použitím turbohřídelové pohonné jednotky. Jeho prvním uživatelem se stalo Royal Navy, a později vznikly i stroje určené pro Royal Air Force.

The Westland Wessex was a British-built turbine-powered development of the Sikorsky H-34. It was developed and produced under license by Westland Aircraft (later Westland Helicopters).

Air transport for the British Royal Family and the Government of the United Kingdom is provided, depending on circumstances and availability, by a variety of military and civilian operators.
