Incat is a manufacturer of large high-speed craft (HSC) catamarans, based in the Derwent Park suburb of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia founded by Bob Clifford. The company builds large commercial and military vessels that use aluminium construction, wave-piercing and water-jet technology. Vessels have been constructed up to 112 metres in length and with cruising speed up to 40 knots (75 km/h).

Several catamarans built by Incat have entered naval services, including HMAS Jervis Bay with the Royal Australian Navy and HSV-X1 Joint Venture and HSV-2 Swift, which served with the United States Armed Forces. It has since diversified into river going catamaran ferries for Thames Clippers, Bass & Flinders Cruises and Sydney Ferries and building the Brooke Street Pier.
