Ripablik F-105 Grom (engl. Republic F-105 Thunderchief) američki je nadzvučni lovac-bombarder koji je koristilo Američko ratno vazduhoplovstvo. Sposoban je za let brzinama duplo većim od brzine zvuka, sproveo je većinu misija za bombardovanje tokom ranih godina rata u Vijetnamu; to je bila jedina američka letelica koja je uklonjena iz borbe zbog visokih gubitaka. Prvobitno je dizajniran kao jednosedi avion za nuklearne napade, dvosedna verzija kasnije je razvijena za specijalizovanu ulogu Suzbijanja neprijateljske odbrane (engl. Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) protiv lansirnih položaja raketa zemlja-vazduh.

Kada je F-105 ušao u službu, bio je to najveći jednosedi borbeni avion sa jednim motorom u istoriji, težak približno 23.000 kg. Mogao je dostići brzinu zvuka na nivou mora i dostići brzinu od 2 maha na velikoj nadmorskoj visini. Mogao je da nosi do 6.400 kg bombi i raketa. F-105 Grom je kasnije zamenjen kao udarni avion nad Severnim Vijetnamom avionima F-4 Fantom II i F-111.
