Douglas A-1 Skyraider (prej AD) je bil enosedežni enomotorni palubni jurišnik, ki ga je zasnovalo ameriško podjetje Douglas Aircraft Company. Zasnovali so ga v času 2. svetovne vojne. Skyraider je imel sorazmerno dolgo in uspešno kariero. Posadke so uporabljale tudi vzdevek »Spad«, po istoimenskem francoskem lovcu iz prve svetovne vojne. Glavni uporabnik so bili ameriške zračne sile, mornarica in marinci, uporabljala pa sta ga tudi Kraljeva vojna mornarica in Francosko vojno letalstvo. Skyraiderja je nasledil reaktivni LTV A-7 Corsair II.
Letalo je poganjal zračnohaljeni zvezdasti motor Wright R-3350-26WA z 2700 konjskimi silami.
