Aérospatiale was a French aerospace manufacturer that primarily builds both civilian and military aircraft and rockets.

The company was created in 1970 from the state-owned companies Sud Aviation, Nord-Aviation and Société d'Etudes et de Réalisation d'Engins Balistiques (Sereb).

In 1992, DaimlerChrysler Aerospace AG (DASA) and Aerospatiale combined their helicopter divisions to form the Eurocopter Group.

In 1999, Aérospatiale merged with the Matra High Technology Group to form the Aérospatiale-Matra company. This division manufactures missiles as part of the MBDA consortium.

On July 10, 2000, Aérospatiale-Matra merged with other European companies to form EADS.

Aérospatiale also manufactured the Ariane series of booster rockets.
