De IMAM Ro 37bis was een variant van de IMAM Ro 37, een tweezits verkenningstweedekker die in de jaren 1930 en 1940 door de Italiaanse luchtmacht werd gebruikt. De Ro 37bis had een krachtigere stermotor dan de originele Ro 37, die een lijnmotor had. De Ro 37bis was sneller, betrouwbaarder en wendbaarder dan zijn voorganger. Het kon drie machinegeweren en twaalf bommen vervoeren voor close air support-missies.
De Ro 37bis saw action in various conflicts, such as the Second Italo-Ethiopian War, the Spanish Civil War, and the Second World War. It was also exported to several countries, such as Hungary, Afghanistan, and some Latin American nations. The Ro 37bis was a versatile and effective aircraft for its time, but it was gradually replaced by more modern monoplanes as the war progressed. The last operational Ro 37bis were retired in 1945.
