The LFG Roland C.VIII was a German reconnaissance aircraft of World War I. It was manufactured by Luft-Fahrzeug-Gesellschaft G.m.b.H.
The C.VIII was basically a C.III with a modified fuselage and a Mercedes D.IVa engine. Although the aircraft passed flight tests, the onset of Albatros C.X aircraft, license built by LFG Roland, meant that the C.VIII did not enter production.
