The Latécoère 290 was a torpedo bomber floatplane produced in France in the 1930s, designed by Latécoère to a French naval aviation specification. It was based on the company's successful Latécoère 28.3 mail plane and was a conventional high-wing, strut-braced monoplane that carried a single torpedo externally under the fuselage. After testing on wheels and then on its intended floats, the navy ordered a batch of 20 followed by 10 more. They entered service in 1934 with two torpedo squadrons, were relegated to training in early 1939, and four returned to coastal anti-submarine duty when the Second World War began.
