The Japanese submarine I-8 was a World War II Junsen Type J-3 Imperial Japanese Navy submarine. The vessel, along with the I-7, were the largest Japanese submarines to be completed before the outbreak of the Pacific War. It was based on the KD (Kaidai) type. Both submarines participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor, they also conducted patrol missions with Yokosuka E14Y seaplanes.
