The invention relates to a spoiler for an aircraft wing. The spoiler is movable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration in a "pop-up" manner. The spoiler comprises a hinged top flap movable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the hinged top flap is constrained by an actuator, and in the second position the hinged top flap is unconstrained by the actuator. When the hinged top flap is in the second position, airflow over the top surface of the aircraft wing acts to pull the spoiler into the deployed position.
