The Pfalz Dr.II was a German triplane fighter prototype of the First World War built by Pfalz Flugzeugwerke. It was a lightweight development of the Pfalz Dr.I with a reduced wing area, intended as a single-seat fighter with a lower powered engine. The first prototype had a 110 hp Oberursel Ur II engine, and the second prototype, designated Dr.IIa, used a Siemens-Halske Sh I engine that developed the same power. The aircraft was 5.5 m long and 2.76 m high with a wingspan of 7.2 m, and it was armed with two synchronised LMG 08/15 machine guns. Despite the lighter airframe the Dr.II did not enter production, and it remained one of the Pfalz triplane experiments that followed the Dr.I.
