The Morane-Saulnier MS.570 was a civil utility aircraft produced in small numbers in France in the late 1940s.^[1]^[2]^[3] It was a derivative of the MS.560 aerobatics aircraft with a revised fuselage design that added a second seat side-by-side with the pilot's and a more powerful engine.^[2]

Like its predecessor, the MS.570 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage. Construction was of metal throughout, with the fuselage having a semi-monocoque structure. The cockpit was enclosed by an expansive bubble canopy that slid rearwards to provide access.^[4] The wings could be folded for storage.^[4]

While the MS.570 had only two seats, it was followed by MS.571 that added an extra seat to the rear of the cockpit^[2]^[3] (optionally, a small bench seat^[4]), and the dedicated four-seater MS.572.^[2]
