The Dornier Do Y was a German bomber of the 1930s, the second bomber design by Dornier Flugzeugwerke.
Design on the aircraft began in 1930, to follow up from the other Dornier bomber prototype, the Dornier Do P.
The first aircraft flew on 17 October 1931.
It was a shoulder-wing monoplane of all-metal construction with fixed tail wheel landing gear, similar to the Do P, however this model had three engines instead of four.
