The RAF 4 is a British air-cooled, V12 engine developed for aircraft use during World War I.
Based on the eight–cylinder RAF 1 it was designed by the Royal Aircraft Factory but produced by the two British companies of Daimler and Siddeley-Deasy.
The RAF 5 was a pusher version of the same engine.
The engine was test-flown in a R.E.8, but the turbocharging experiments were abandoned after the turbine failed on 4 May 1918.
