Die Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider is 'n voorgestelde bomwerper onder ontwikkeling by Northrop Grumman in Amerika. Die bomwerper sal deel word van die langafstandbomwerperaanvalsprogram (LRS-B) van die Amerikaanse Lugmag. Die bomwerper sal oor 'n baie lang togafstand beskik met verskuilkenmerke wat konvensionele bomme sowel as kernwapens kan dra. ^[2]^[3]^[4]

Daar word verwag dat die bomwerper in diens gestel sal word in 2025. Dit moet die bestaande vloot van Rockwell B-1 Lancers, Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirits,^[5]^[1] en Boeing B-52 Stratofortresse bystaan en uiteindelik vervang. ^[6]^[7]
