Mercury Corporation was originally an aircraft manufacturer established in Hammondsport, New York, United States in 1920. It built aircraft using the name Mercury Aircraft.{{cite book|title=A History in the Making: 80 Turbulent Years in the American General Aviation Industry| author=Donald M. Pattillo|page=13}}

Mercury started as an aircraft supply house selling surplus parts for Curtiss JN-4 aircraft flown after World War I. Once the supply of parts ran out, the company manufactured various aircraft components including radios and dirigible gondolas.

In 1927, the company renamed itself Mercury Aircraft. It was led by Joseph F. Meade, Sr. and Harvey Mummert.{{cite book|title=Hammondsport and Keuka Lake|author=Charles R.
