Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du Midi (SNCAM) was a French government-owned aircraft manufacturer created as a result of the 1936 nationalization of the French military aviation sector under Léon Blum's administration. The company was established by integrating the former Dewoitine enterprise and commenced its activities on April 1, 1937. SNCAM was among six state-controlled aerospace entities formed to streamline and strengthen France's defense aircraft production.

By late 1940, SNCAM underwent restructuring and was incorporated into SNCASE, which eventually combined with SNCASO to create Sud Aviation. Following a series of mergers, the former SNCAM assets are currently part of the Airbus corporation.
