The Douglas O-2 was a 1920s American observation aircraft built by the Douglas Aircraft Company.

The Douglas O-2 was a conventional but reliable biplane, which attracted orders for 25 more aircraft: 18 O-2A equipped for night flying and six O-2B dual-control command aircraft for the US Army. Plus, there was one civil O-2BS modified for James McKee, who made a trans-Canada flight in September 1926. In 1927 the O-2BS was adapted as a three-seater with a radial engine.

The O-2Hs were an entirely new design but continued the same basic model number. Major differences were heavily staggered wings, a more compact engine installation, and clean landing gear secured to the fuselage.

Up to 2011 there were no O-2 s known to exist. However, in 2011 the wreckage of O-2H 29-163 that crashed out of Kelly Field Texas on March 16, 1933 has been positively identified. The only similar aircraft to exist is a restored Douglas M-2 mailplane and a follow-on derivative of the O-25 variant, an O-38.
