Le de Havilland DH.104 Colomba è un aereo di linea britannico a corto raggio sviluppato e prodotto da de Havilland. Il progetto, che era un monoplano successore del biplano Dragon Rapide prebellico, nacque dal rapporto del Comitato Brabazon che, tra gli altri tipi di aerei, richiedeva un alimentatore a corto raggio progettato in Gran Bretagna per le compagnie aeree.
