Douglas TBD Devastator je bil ameriški enomotorni palubni torpedni bombnik, ki ga je uporabljala Ameriška mornarica v 2. Svetovni vojni. Prvič je poletel leta 1935, v uporabo je vstopil leta 1937. Kratek čas je bil eno izmed najbolj modernih letal, ob času japonskega napada na Pearl Harbor pa je bil že zastarel. Posebnost letala je tričlanska posadka.

V prvih bitkah je bil uspešen, v bitki pri Midwayu pa se je slabo odrezal, 41 Devastatorjev ni doseglo niti enega zadetka s torpedom. Devastator tudi ni imel veliko možnosti, ko je prišlo do letalskega dvoboja z Zeroji.

Proizvodnja je bila majhna, samo 130 letal. Devastatorja je nadomestil Grumman TBF Avenger.
