The Hovercraft Museum, located in Hampshire, England, is dedicated to hovercraft.

The museum has a large collection of various designs of hovercraft. Situated at HMS Daedalus by the large slipway from where many hovercraft have been tested, the museum collection includes SR-N5 and SR-N6 craft. The collection currently contains the last two remaining SR-N4 craft, the world's largest hovercraft. The future of these vessels is uncertain, as they are still owned by Hoverspeed, the cross-channel company, and still up for sale.

The museum also contains a large collection of hovercraft models including the world's first working hovercraft model built by Christopher Cockerell. In the collection is also the first flying model of the SR-N1 hovercraft.
