Sokopf was an Austrian aircraft manufacturer based in Innsbruck and founded by Uli Sokopf. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of paramotors in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04, page 75. Pagefast Ltd, Lancaster UK, 2003.

The company seems to have been founded before 1998 and gone out of business after 2004.

The company's line of paramotors, the Sokopf Falke, is noted for its emphasis on high power, rather than low empty weight, unlike many other paramotor manufacturers. In an emergency the entire engine unit can be jettisoned.{{cite web|url=http://all-aero.com/index.php/2-uncategorised/14984-sokopf-uli-falke|title=Sokopf Uli Falke|author=All-Aero|work=all-aero.com|accessdate=9 January 2016}}
