The Pfalz D. XII aircraft was designed and produced by the German Pfalz Flugzeugwerke company.

Although it did not gain as much fame as the Fokker D.VII, the Pfalz D. XII was used in combat on the Western Front, especially in the last months of the war. These aircraft were valued for their robust construction and good flight characteristics, though pilots usually preferred the more highly regarded Fokker D.VII.
