The '''Bow Knight''' (Japanese: {{hover|ボウナイト|Bōnaito}} ''Bow Knight'') is a [[class]] which, throughout the {{FES}}, has taken on numerous different portrayals and roles. Consistent among all of its appearances is that it is a mounted class which wields [[Bow (weapon)|bows]].

In its first appearance in {{title|Gaiden}}, the Bow Knight was a [[:Category:Third-tier advanced classes|third-tier advanced class]] and the final form of the [[Archer]] class line, [[class change|promoting]] from the [[Sniper]]. A class of considerable power, this incarnation of the Bow Knight has a uniquely high attacking [[range]], with consistent innate access to anywhere between one and five range.

The second incarnation of the Bow Knight was a [[:Category:Advanced classes|second-tier advanced class]] in the [[Jugdral]] duology, {{title|Genealogy of the Holy War}} and {{title|Thracia 776}}. It is the promoted form of the [[Arch Knight]], and the bow-wielding counterpart of the [[Ranger]], [[Great Knight]] and [[Duke Knight]]. In ''Thracia 776'', Bow Knights are forced to [[dismount]] to enter buildings or participate in chapters set entirely indoors; unlike the Great or Duke Knights, they continue to wield bows when on foot.

The [[Tellius]] duology's version of the Bow Knight is a [[:Category:Base classes|basic class]], and the counterpart of its own former basic form, the Arch Knight. It promotes to the [[Paladin]] in {{title|Path of Radiance}}, whereupon the player can choose a second weapon type for the individual unit to gain access to. In {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, it promotes to the [[Bow Paladin]], a counterpart to its Jugdral incarnation, which in turn promotes to the third-tier [[Silver Knight]].

In {{title|Awakening}}, the Bow Knight returns to being an advanced class, but this time also has access to swords and functions identically to the [[Horseman]] and [[Ranger]] of earlier games. Here, it promotes from both [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] and [[Archer]]s, and many other units can access the class through [[reclass]]ing. The {{title|Fates}} incarnation of the class functions identically to ''Awakening'''s, with the only difference being that the new [[Outlaw]] class may promote to it instead of Archers, in line with the Archer's effective replacement by the Outlaw.
