North American Aviation je bilo veliko ameriško letalsko-vesoljsko podjetje. Podjetje je ustanovil Clement Melville Keys 6. decembra 1928. North American je znan po letalih kot so trenažer T-6 Texan, lovec P-51 Mustang, bombnik B-25 Mitchell, reaktivni lovec F-86 Sabre, raketno letalo X-15, nadzvočni bombnik XB-70 in B-1 Lancer. Sodeloval je tudi pri vesoljskih programih Space Shuttle in Apollo, kjer je izdelal servisni in komandni modul in 2. stopnjo rakete Saturn V.

Pozneje je podjetje postalo del Rockwell International, le-ta pa je sedaj del Boeinga.
