ANF Les Mureaux—originally established in 1918 in Les Mureaux as Les Ateliers des Mureaux—was a French aircraft manufacturing company. Throughout the 1920s, it primarily produced aircraft under license, including models like the Vickers Vimy and Breguet 14. With André Brunet serving as chief designer, the firm shifted towards creating its own parasol-wing monoplane designs, leading to the development of the notable 113 reconnaissance plane and its derivatives from 1931 onward.

In 1928, the company expanded by acquiring the seaplane producer Besson. Two years later, in 1930, it merged with Ateliers de Construction du Nord de la France, a company specializing in railway engineering. The enterprise was nationalized in 1937 and subsequently became part of SNCAN.
