The Macchi M.12 was a flying boat bomber produced in small numbers in Italy in 1918.[1] It had a conventional design generally similar to an enlarged version of other Macchi designs of the period and featured the Warren truss-style interplane struts that had been introduced on the Macchi M.9.[2] A major difference however, was its twin-boom fuselage,[1] each with a separate tailfin.[2] An M.12 was entered in the Schneider Trophy race of 1920, but did not compete.

The M.12bis was a civil variant with five seats and a wingspan extended to 18 m (59 ft), intended to carry passengers and mail.[3]
