Grumman AF Guardian je bilo ameriško palubno protipodmorniško letalo iz 1940ih. Guardian velja za največje enomotorno batnognano palubno letalo. Letala so po navadi delovala v parih, eno je bilo opremljeno s senzorji, drugo pa z orožjem. Guardian je imel sorazmerno kratko dobo uporabe 1950-1955, nadomestil ga je dvomotorni Grumman S-2 Tracker.
