The Hansa-Brandenburg W.27 and W.32 were prototype fighter floatplanes designed by the Hansa-Brandenburg Aircraft Company (Hansa Brandenburgische Flugzeugwerke) for the Imperial German Navy's (Kaiserliche Marine) Naval Air Service (Marine-Fliegerabteilung) during World War I. They were developed from and were intended replacements for the W.12 then in service. They differed from each other principally in the choice of powerplant, the W.27 with a Benz Bz.IIIb and the W.32 with the same Mercedes D.III that the W.12 used. Neither aircraft was chosen for production.
