The Zlín Z-XII was a Czechoslovak twin-seat sports aircraft and the first major design success by the Zlínská Letecká Akciová Spolecnost (Zlín) aircraft manufacturing company after its founding in Otrokovice after the takeover by the Bata Group. The low-wing all-wooden aircraft was designed by Jaroslav Lonek. Two prototypes with different engines were presented in April 1935. These were subjected to an extensive test program.
