The Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) CA-25 Winjeel (Young Eagle) was a training aircraft designed and built in Australia in the 1950s. They remained in use as trainers until 1975 and later in other roles.

The CAC Winjeel was designed to meet a RAAF requirement for a basic trainer.

The first of two prototypes first flew in February 1951 and they began entering service in 1955.

Sixty-two were manufactured, the final one in August 1957. They remained in service in the training role until 1975 when they were replaced by the PAC CT/4A.

After this a few were used in the Forward Air Control rolw when they were equipped with smoke bombs for target marking. They were retired from this role in 1994.

Subsequently a number were sold into private ownership and many remain on view in Australian aviation museums.
