{{Nihongo|'''''Hayate'''''|はやて}} is a high-speed [[Shinkansen]] service operated in Japan, on the [[Tōhoku Shinkansen]] by [[East Japan Railway Company]] (JR East) since 2002 and on the [[Hokkaido Shinkansen]] by [[JR Hokkaido]] since 26 March 2016. It operates as far as the northern terminus of {{STN|Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto|x}}, and it is the second-fastest service on the Tohoku Shinkansen. These services were inaugurated with the opening of the Tohoku Shinkansen extension to Hachinohe on 1 December 2002.<ref name="kotsu2008">{{cite book |script-title=ja: JR新幹線＆特急列車ファイル |trans-title= JR Shinkansen & Limited Express Train File| publisher = Kōtsū Shimbun | year = 2008 | location = Japan | page = 16 | isbn = 978-4-330-00608-6}}</ref>

The name "Hayate" has not been used previously on any train service in Japan. The name was chosen with input from the public; roughly translated, it means a strong or violent wind; however, it carries positive connotations of speed and power.
