The Roe IV Triplane was an early British aircraft. It was an all-new design by Alliott Verdon Roe for A.V. Roe and Company 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.

Boxkite" and the "1911 Roe IV Triplane" were retained in the Shuttleworth Collection. Both replicas are still in flyable condition, albeit flying with different engines.1
