The Latécoère 8 was a French airliner built in 1921, of which only a single example was made. It was a conventional two-bay biplane with unstaggered wings and a fixed tailskid undercarriage, with a fully enclosed five-seat passenger cabin and a separate open cockpit for the pilot behind it. A single engine sat in the nose. It was shown at the 1921 Paris aeronautical salon and soon after carried passengers and mail on the company's route between France, Spain and Morocco. It proved underpowered and was not repaired after a crash early in its career.
