The Latécoère 4 was a three-engined, 15-passenger biplane built in France in the early 1920s. It proved difficult to fly and was discontinued, though a second machine was completed as the Latécoère 5 bomber. The aircraft was one of the first large passenger designs of the company and its difficulties led the firm to change direction toward its later monoplane airliners. The manufacturer's own product list dates it to 1920 and describes it as a prototype passenger biplane.
