USS L-8 (SS-48) was an L-class submarine of the United States Navy. Her keel was laid down on 24 February 1915 by the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine. The L-boats designed by Lake Torpedo Boat (L-5 through L-8) were built to slightly different specifications from the other L-boats, which were designed by Electric Boat, and are sometimes considered a separate L-5 class. L-8 was launched on 23 April 1917 sponsored by Miss Nancy Gill, and commissioned on 30 August 1917 with Lieutenant J. Parker, Jr., in command.
