The Fiat G.8 was a military utility plane developed in Italy during the mid-1930s. Its design and manufacturing took place at the CMASA facility in Pisa, which had been integrated into Fiat by 1930; consequently, this model is occasionally identified as the CMASA G.8 or Fiat-CMASA G.8. The aircraft featured a traditional biplane configuration with staggered wings of differing spans, supported by struts arranged in a Warren truss framework. The pilot and one passenger or instructor were seated in tandem within open cockpits. It utilized fixed tailskid undercarriage with separated main landing gear units.

A total of sixty units were procured by the Regia Aeronautica, where they served primarily in liaison and training roles.
