Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow je bilo kanadsko dvomotorno nadzvočno prestrezniško letalo. Načrtovalo in zgradilo ga je podjetje Avro Canada. Avro Arrow je bilo eden izmed tehnološko najbolj naprednih lovcev kanadske letalske letalske industrije. Projekt je bil preklican pred vstopom v serijsko proizvodnjo. Na višini 50 000 čevljev (15 000 m) naj bi dosegel hitrost Mach 2+.

Letalo je nastalo kot odgovor na razvoj Sovjetskih stratetških bombnikov velikega dosega, ki bi bili zmožni napasti cilje v Severni Ameriki in Evropi.

Na Arrowu so uporabili inovativno delta krilo, ki ima pri nadzvočnem letu enake prednosti kot puščičasto krilo. Krilo ima več prostora in večjo površino, kar omogoča večjo količino goriva in orožja. Slabosti so bili večji upor pri majhnih hitrostih, nižjih višinah in manevriranju.
