'''Aerfer'''<ref>{{cite web |title=The Curator's Choice 057 - Forgotten Fifties Fighters - The Little Aviation Museum |url=https://thelittleaviationmuseum.au/the-curators-choice-57/ |website=thelittleaviationmuseum.au |access-date=21 May 2025 |language=en-AU |date=29 March 2023}}</ref> was an Italian manufacturing company created in 1955 by the [[Mergers and acquisitions|merger]] of [[IMAM]] and Officine Ferroviarie Meridionali. The name is a contraction of {{lang|it|Costruzioni Aeronautiche e Ferroviarie}} (Aeronautical and Railway Constructions).

In 1969 it merged with Salmoiraghi and the [[Fiat Aviazione|aviation division]] of [[Fiat]] to create [[Aeritalia]].

The firm is remembered mostly in connection with the development of Italy's first supersonic jet, the [[Aerfer Sagittario 2]].
