The Zlín Z-XII is a Czechoslovak two-seat sports aircraft, and the first major design success by the Zlínská Letecká Akciová Společnost (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.

The Z-XII, equipped with a 33 / 35 kW (44 / 47 hp) Zlin Persy II engine emerged as the winner from the tests.

Production of the Z-212 ran under German supervision after the occupation of Czechoslovakia.
