Slingsby Aviation was a British aircraft manufacturer based in Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, England.

The business was founded in Scarborough by Frederick Nicholas Slingsby, an RAF pilot in World War I.

After repairing some of the club's gliders, Slingsby's business built its first aircraft, a German designed RRG Falke which flew in 1931.

After the war Slingsby continued to make increasingly refined gliders for civilian use in clubs and competitions.
