The Pfalz D.VIII was a German World War I fighter aircraft.

The D.VIII was approved for production arising from German initiatives in 1918 to develop superior fighter aircraft. Its power unit, the Siemens-Halske Sh.III rotary enabled the type to achieve a top speed of 120 miles per hour (190 km/h) at sea level. Armament was twin 7.92mm Spandau machine guns.

Forty units were completed but as this was very near the end of the war, they were used mostly for evaluation purposes.
