The Westland Weasel was a prototype British two-seat fighter/reconnaissance aircraft of the First World War. Designed to replace the Bristol Fighter, the Weasel was a single engined tractor biplane. Four prototypes were built, but no production followed owing to the failure of its original engine, although the prototypes were used as engine test beds for the successful Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar and Bristol Jupiter engines.

| - Il Westland Weasel fu un aereo militare biposto, monomotore e biplano, sviluppato dall'azienda aeronautica britannica Westland Aircraft Ltd nei tardi anni dieci del XX secolo e rimasto allo stadio di prototipo. Destinato ad essere utilizzato nel ruolo di aereo da caccia-ricognitore come dotazione dell'aviazione militare britannica durante la prima guerra mondiale, a causa del sopravvenuto termine del conflitto e dei continui problemi legati alla motorizzazione nelle sue prime fasi di sviluppo, venne realizzato in soli quattro esemplari, tre dei quali utilizzati dall'Air Board come banco di prova volante per motori radiali raffreddati ad aria, in particolare i 9 cilindri Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar e Cosmos (poi Bistol) Jupiter.
