The HAL HAOP-27 Krishak was a military observation aircraft produced in India in the 1960s, developed by Hindustan Aeronautics as an enlarged, four-seat version of the Pushpak light aircraft. Two prototypes flew in November 1959 and November 1960, but there were no buyers until the Indian Army issued a requirement in the early 1960s for an aircraft to replace its Auster air observation post aircraft. A slightly revised design entered service in 1965, built as the Krishak with a 190 hp Continental engine and as the Mk 2 with a 225 hp Continental engine. It was phased out in the mid-1970s when the HAL Cheetah replaced it.
