The ARM Huracán (A-301) is a missile boat in the Mexican Navy. Previously Israeli Navy Sa'ar 4.5-class missile boat INS Aliya, it was bought by Mexico for the Mexican Navy. Press reports indicates that the Israelis removed the Harpoon missile systems prior to the sale, though the Gabriel anti-ship missile systems were included in the package.

ARM Huracán was built by Israel Shipyards Ltd in 1981 and underwent a complete overhaul before its transfer to the Mexican Navy on August 23, 2004.
