English Electric Canberra je britanski dvomotorni reaktivni bombnik, ki so ga razvili v 1940ih in je bil tako eden izmed prvih reaktivnih bombnikov. Predstavljal je velik napredek od propelerskih (batno gnanih) bombnikov. Zaradi velike višine leta (rekord je bil 21430 m) ga je bilo izredno težko prestreči z lovci tistega časa. Uporabljal se je tudi kot izvidnik in letalo za elektronsko bojevanje. Dalo se ga je oborožiti tudi z jedrskim orožjem. Zgradili so slabih tisoč letal, ki jih je uporabljalo več kot 15 držav. RAF je svoje zadnje letalo upokojila leta 2006, po več kot 50 letih uporabe.
