De Vickers Vimy was een Britse zware bommenwerper. Het was een dubbeldekker met twee motoren en werd gebouwd door vliegtuigfabriek Vickers voor de Royal Air Force (RAF).

De eerste vlucht was in november 1917. Slechts enkele toestellen deden mee aan de Eerste Wereldoorlog. De meeste kwamen te laat voor de strijd. De Vimy werd wel de belangrijkste RAF-bommenwerper in de jaren twintig van de twintigste eeuw. Er was ook een passagiersvariant met een vergrote romp: de Vimy Commercial. De Vimy variant voor troepentransport heette de Vickers Vernon.[1]

In juni 1919 maakte een Vimy de eerste non-stop trans-Atlantische vlucht met als bemanning John Alcock and Arthur Brown.[2] Andere recordbrekende vluchten werden gemaakt vanuit het Verenigd Koninkrijk naar bestemmingen zoals Zuid-Afrika en Australië. De Vimy bleef tot in de jaren dertig in gebruik.
