The Focke-Wulf GL 18 was a 1920s German light transport monoplane designed and built by Focke-Wulf. It was based on the single-engine Focke-Wulf A 16, with the nose faired over and two wing-mounted 58 kW (78 hp) Junkers L.1a inline engines, and it had an enclosed cabin for a pilot and four passengers. The GL 18 first flew on 9 August 1926 and Deutsche Luft Hansa used it until 1932. The GL 18a had two Siemens Sh 11 engines and was followed by the GL 18c with two Siemens Sh 12 engines, and the 18a and 18b had slightly wider fuselages. In 1927 a modified Sh 12-engined variant with a deeper fuselage, engines under the wings and a revised landing gear was produced as the GL 22, of which four were built.
