The Roe IV Triplane was an early British aircraft. It was an all-new design for Roe and reflected the basic aircraft configuration that was to become the convention. With this design, Roe returned to wing warping as a means of control.

The single example built was used for a while as a trainer at the Avro Flying School at Brooklands, Surrey.

A full-scale flying replica was built for the film "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" and was afterwards donated to the Shuttleworth Collection, where it remains as of 2007.
