'''Aerfer''' was an Italian manufacturing company created in 1955 by the [[merger]] of [[IMAM]] and Officine Ferroviarie Meridionali. The name is a contraction of ''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]].
