Blackburn Buccaneer je britanski dvomotorni reaktivni palubni bombnik. Kraljeve letalske sile (RAF) in Kraljeva mornarica so v 1950ih hotele palubno bombniško letalo, ki bi lahko letelo na nizki višini (pod radarjem) in bilo sposobno jedrskih napadov. Zasnovalo ga je podjetje Blackburn Aircraft, pozneje to podjetje postalo del skupine Hawker Siddeley, zato se uporablja tudi oznaka Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer.

Prva serijska letala so imela več nesreč zaradi premajhne moči motorjev, zato so predstavili verzijo Buccaneer S.2 z močnejšimi motorji Rolls-Royce Spey. Sprva je bil Buccanner zavrnjen, ker je RAF hotela nadzvočnega BAC TSR-2 ali pa F-111K. Pozneje so preklicali oba TSR-2 in F-111K in namesto njih naročili Buccaneerje.

Buccaneerji so se uporabljali v Zalivski vojni in Južnoafriški obmejni vojni.

Pri Kraljevi mornarici je Buccaneerja nadomestil V/STOL British Aerospace Sea Harrier, pri RAF pa Panavia Tornado.

Buccaneer S.2 z zloženimi krili, tako je zasedal manj prostora na letalonosilkah
