A propliner is a large, propeller-powered airliner. Typically, the term is used for piston-powered airliners that flew before the beginning of the jet age, not for modern turbine-powered propeller airliners.

The first propliner was the Boeing 207, and the most famous is the Douglas DC-3, which is still in widespread use. Other propliners included the DC-4, DC-5, DC-6, and DC-7; the Lockheed Constellation and Starliner; and the Boeing Stratocruiser.
