The Zeppelin-Staaken R.IV was a heavy bomber built in Germany in 1916 and which saw service during World War I, briefly on the Eastern Front and then more extensively on the Western Front until the end of the war. Built to the Imperial German Army's Riesenflugzeuge ("giant aircraft") specification, it was the first such design by Zeppelin-Staaken to receive the "R" designation.
