The Fokker F.VIII (or F.8) was a large twin-engined airliner designed and produced by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker in the 1920s.

It was similar overall to the Fokker F.VII which was trimotor, but the F.VIII was not a trimotor but had twin engines;one engine on each wing. It was a bit bigger and seated twelve in, what was for the period a luxury seating setup.

In the same family of aircraft was the even larger F.IX, or F-9, which used a trimotor configuration.
