Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger (bahasa Inggris: Shrike) adalah sebuah pesawat tempur berkursi tunggal dan bermesin tunggal buatan Jerman yang dirancang oleh Kurt Tank pada akhir tahun 1930-an dan digunakan selama Perang Dunia II.
Walaupun kalah tenar dengan Bf-109, Fw 190 lebih ditakuti oleh para pilot Sekutu. Bersama dengan Bf-109, Fw 190 menjadi salah satu tulang punggung Jagdwaffe (pasukan tempur) Luftwaffe. Mesin radial BMW 801 yang dipakainya menjadikan Fw 190 mampu untuk terbang pada misi siang hari atau malam hari. Selain itu Fw 190 juga mampu berperan sebagai pesawat tempur-pengebom dan penyerang pasukan darat.
Pesawat ini sempat merajai langit Eropa Barat selama 2 tahun sebelum datangnya pesawat P-51 Mustang. Fw 190 sangat disukai oleh pilotnya, beberapa penerbang ulung Jerman dengan rekor tertinggi banyak meraih skor bunuh dengan pesawat ini, seperti Otto Kittel, Walter Nowotny, dan Erich Rudorffer.
