TheBow Paladin (Japanese:弓騎将アローナイトArrow Knight) is abow-using class exclusive toFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. They ride horses, along with three similar classes of the same game—theBlade Paladin,Lance Paladin, andAxe Paladin classes. TheBow Knight class is enemy-only, but a Bow Knight would presumably promote to a Bow Paladin; a Bow Paladin can then become aSilver Knight.

As a promoted class, they have quite high stats all around—with no outstanding strengths or weaknesses in terms of numbers. Their use of bows gives them a two-space attack range, but they cannot fight in melee range. Also, their horses allow them to move around quickly and rescue many units, but leave them vulnerable to horse-specific weapons. Generally, they are solid front-line units with strong offensive capabilities and sturdy defenses.
