The Latécoère 440 was a single-engined, high-winged floatplane built as a coastal defence aircraft for the French Navy in the early 1930s. Two were produced to contract, but they did not impress in tests and the Navy chose the Latécoère 290 instead. The type is an example of a competing design that lost out to a sister product from the same company in a naval order. The company's product list dates it to 1931 and describes it as a coastal defence floatplane developed from the Latécoère 28.
