The Blériot XII was an early French aeroplane built by Louis Blériot, a larger and more powerful development of his famous Blériot XI. The wing was relocated to the top of the fuselage in this design.

On 12 June 1909, the original Blériot XII became the first aircraft to fly with three people aboard, and Blériot himself raced it at "Le Grande Semaine D'Aviation de la Champagne" at Reims between August 22 and August 29 1909, placing second in the speed trials behind Glenn Curtiss in his Reims Racer. A Blériot XII also had the distinction of being the first aircraft to be flown by the British Army, by Lieutenant Rex Cammel in 1911.
