The Sopwith Grasshopper was a two-seat touring biplane built in 1919 by the Sopwith Aviation and Engineering Company at Kingston upon Thames. It was a conventional open-cockpit biplane with a nose-mounted 100 hp Anzani engine. Only one was built, registered G-EAIN, which obtained its certificate of airworthiness in March 1920. It passed through a number of private operators until 1929, when the certificate was not renewed, and its last owner was Constance Leathart. It is one of the few small civil aircraft the company produced for the postwar market after the war ended the demand for its military designs.
