Night Hawk is a fictional character created by John James Brearley Garbutt and appeared in the boys' paper Nelson Lee in the early 1930s. The hero was rich scientist Thurston Kyle who built an armored, winged flying suit to fight crime. The character first appeared in The Nelson Lee Library (New Series) No. 11, April 5, 1930 in a self-titled story.

Night Hawk appeared in the magazine from 1930-1931, including a serial, "The Phantom Foe", which ran from issues No. 69 (May 23, 1931) to No. 83 (August 22, 1931). The latter issue was his last appearance. Stories were reprinted later in The Boys' Friend Library.

Four new Night Hawk stories were published in 2014.
