		The Hawker Sea Hawk was a single-seat jet fighter of the Fleet Air Arm (FAA), the air branch of the Royal Navy (RN), built by the Hawker company.
		The Sea Hawk was developed from the P.1040, a land-based prototype jet interceptor, itself a development of a jet powered Hawker Sea Fury prototype, intended for the Royal Air Force (RAF); however, the RAF showed little interest in the project, preferring other jet fighters such as the Gloster Meteor and de Havilland Vampire.
		A number of Sea Hawks survive as of 2004, mainly in a variety of locations in the United Kingdom, though a few are located abroad, including in the Netherlands and India.

		Unlike its rival, the Supermarine Attacker, the Sea Hawk had a nose-wheel rather than a tail-wheel, making it easier to land on carriers compared to the Attacker, which was the first jet to enter service with the FAA.

		The origins of the Sea Hawk begin with project number P1035 in 1944, which was essentially a development of the Hawker Sea Fury, with a Rolls Royce RB41 jet engine situated amidships.
		The RAF was not interested in the Hawker design, having decided to standardise the fighter force on the Gloster Meteor which had just broken the World Air Speed Record.
		By 1955 the Sea Hawk performance was already considered mediocre which led to the installation of the more powerful 5,200 lb thrust Nene 103 and the use of the Sea Hawk as a ground attack aircraft, cleared to carry external stores, a task at which the Sea hawk excelled.
