The Baker Bobcat and the follow-on Baker Supercat are American homebuilt aircraft that were designed by Bobby Baker.

The Baker Supercat is a low-wing, strut-braced, open cockpit, conventional landing gear-equipped aircraft with all-wooden construction. The aircraft was originally designed to be an ultralight aircraft and the wings are removable. In 1994 Bowdler Aviation purchased the rights to the plans.

In 1994, an enclosed Supercat with a modified NACA 4415 airfoil and an inverted 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 installation engine was awarded Grand Champion Light Plane at the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh airshow.
