850 Squadron was a short-lived Royal Australian Navy Fleet Air Arm fighter squadron.

Equipped with Hawker Sea Fury aircraft, the Squadron was embarked on HMAS "Sydney" during her post- Korean War patrol of Korean waters in 1953. 850 Squadron returned to Australia in early 1954, was embarked aboard HMAS "Vengeance" for a short period, then was disbanded on 3 August 1954.
