ARM Huracán (A-301) is a missile boat in the Mexican Navy. Previously the Israeli Navy {{sclass2|Sa'ar 4.5|missile boat|2}} INS Aliya, was bought by Mexico for the Mexican Navy.{{cite news |author=Amnon Barzilai |work=Haaretz |date=December 23, 2003 |title=Mexico buys Israeli missile ships, helicopters for $90 million |url=http://www.haaretz.com/news/mexico-buys-israeli-missile-ships-helicopters-for-90-million-1.109519 |accessdate=January 19, 2014}} Press reports indicate 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.
