The Naval Aircraft Factory PT were two types of seaplanes built from surplus and spare parts by the United States Navy's Naval Aircraft Factory.

Both were twin float biplanes based on the fuselage and tail unit of the Curtiss R-6L; the PT-1 was fitted with the 62ft (18.90m) wings from the Curtiss HS-1L, and the PT-2 fitted with the 74ft (22.57m) wings from the Curtiss HS-2L.
