Layzell Gyroplanes Ltd was a British aircraft manufacturer based in Quedgeley, Gloucester and founded by Gary Layzell. The company specialized in the manufacture of autogyros in the form of kits for amateur construction.Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12, page 182. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X

During its time in business Layzell produced two designs, the Layzell Cricket designed by Peter Lovegrove, produced by Layzell from 2005, and the Layzell Merlin from Scottish designer Jim Montgomery.

Layzell remained in business through 2011, although by July 2012 the company website had been removed from the internet.{{cite web|url=http://www.gyrokits.com/ |title=Gyro Kits |accessdate=5 January 2013 |last=Layzell Gyroplanes |date=n.d. |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111117042115/http://www.gyrokits.com/ |archivedate=17 November 2011 }}
