The Vickers Type 163 was a prototype British biplane bomber design of the 1930s, built by Vickers-Armstrong.
It was based on the Vickers Vanox (Vickers Type 150), scaled up to accommodate four engines mounted in pairs. It was submitted both as a bomber and as a troop carrier to Air Ministry specifications B.19/27 and C.16/28 respectively, first flying on 12 January 1931. Only one was produced.
