The Pfalz D.XIV was an experimental German single-seat fighter of 1918, built by Pfalz Flugzeugwerke as a slightly enlarged Pfalz D.XII fitted with a high compression 200 hp Benz Bz.IVu six cylinder water-cooled engine. It was distinguished from the D.XII by longer span wings, a deeper fuselage and a larger vertical fin, and it had a span of 10.0 m, a length of 6.32 m, an empty weight of 833 kg and the standard twin Spandau machine gun armament. It underwent its official type test on 15 May 1918 and took part in the second D-type competition at Adlershof, where it showed no appreciable advance over the D.XII. Fifty were ordered in April 1918, but production ended after a few machines because the Benz engine was needed for the LVG C.VI and Halberstadt C.V two-seaters, and the type apparently did not see active service.
