Bras d'Or (R-103) was a small experimental hydrofoil built for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) during the 1950s. It led to the development of {{HMCS|Bras d'Or|FHE 400}} in the late 1960s.

Built by Saunders-Roe from either a Saunder-Roe motor boat or Vosper PT boat hull, the Bras d'Or was built based on the prototype R-101 in service with the Royal Navy.^[2] Launched in 1957, it underwent trials off Wales in May and arrived in Canada in July.^[3] Acquired by the Royal Canadian Navy, it was never commissioned as a warship.

Bras d'Or (R-103) was renamed Baddeck in 1962 as the name "Bras d'Or" was to be provided to {{HMCS|Bras d'Or|FHE 400}}. Baddeck retired from the Canadian Forces in 1973 and later acquired by the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Ontario.^[3] Baddeck remains in storage with her three foils detached and stored separately.
