Die Douglas DC-3 ist ein zweimotoriges Kurz- und Mittelstrecken Verkehrsflugzeug für maximal 32 Passagiere und militärisches Mehrzweck-Transportflugzeug des US-amerikanischen Herstellers Douglas Aircraft Company. Die militärische Hauptvariante war die C-47 Skytrain.
Die DC-3 ist eine Weiterentwicklung der Douglas DC-2. Die DC-3/C-47 wurde in unzähligen Varianten hergestellt. Demilitarisierte C-47 Skytrain bildeten nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg die Grundlage für den Wiederaufbau der zivilen Luftfahrt. Die DC-3 wurde in Nachbau auch in der Sowjetunion als Lisunow Li-2 hergestellt. In Japan wurde die DC-3 als Nakajima L2D in Lizenz produziert. Die DC-3 findet auch noch heute Verwendung im kommerziellen Luftverkehr. Viele DC-3 wurden auf Antrieb mit Propellerturbinen umgerüstet z.B. als Basler BT-67.
