AutoGyro GmbH (English: AutoGyro Limited) is a German aircraft manufacturer based in Hildesheim. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of autogyros in the form of fully assembled, ready to fly aircraft.^[1]

The company has had commercial success with their designs, which include a mast-mounted vibration dampening system. The enclosed cabin AutoGyro Cavalon and AutoGyro Calidus are noted for their very aerodynamically clean fuselage fairings. The open cockpit AutoGyro MT-03 is described as a "market leader" and is sold in the UK as the modified RotorSport UK MT-03. The AutoGyro MTOsport is a development version of the MT-03. British importer RotorSport UK also markets a modified version of the Calidus as the RotorSport UK Calidus.^[1] As of 2014^[update], they build around 300 aircraft per year.^[2]

An MT-03 was flown on a world record-setting distance flight in Australia of 1,263 km (785 mi).^[1]

In 2013 the company produced the world's first electric aircraft autogyro, the eCavalon^[3]
