The Albatros D.XII was a German single-seat fighter biplane first flown in March 1918. It was the last of the Albatros fighters completed and flown before the end of the First World War, and it had the same slab-sided fuselage seen on the Albatros D.X. The first example used a 134 kilowatt Mercedes D.IIIa engine and had balanced, parallel-chord ailerons. The second prototype, built in April 1918, had unbalanced, inversely tapered ailerons and a Bohme undercarriage with pneumatic shock absorbers, and it was later re-engined with a 138 kilowatt BMW IIIa. In that form it competed in the third Adlershof D-Type Contest in October 1918. No further aircraft were built.
