Douglas A-4 Skyhawk je americký útočný letoun původně vyvinutý pro operace z amerických letadlových lodí. Letoun, který vyvinul letecký výrobce Douglas Aircraft (později McDonnell Douglas), byl až do roku 1962 označen A4D Skyhawk.

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a single seat subsonic carrier-capable attack aircraft developed for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. The delta winged, single turbojet engined Skyhawk was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Company, and later by McDonnell Douglas. It was originally designated A4D under the U.S. Navy’s pre-1962 designation system.
