Coadou-Fleury, also known as Coadou et Fleury, was a French car manufacturer based in Trébeurden. It operated from 1921 to 1934 and served France. The founder, Marcel Coadou, was a pilot. Cars were built in Paris.

The first model was a cyclecar with a Ruby side-valve V4 engine of about 850 or 903 cc, producing around 20 hp, and a monocoque body. It was expensive and didn’t sell well. In 1927, a more developed version used a Citroën Type B2 overhead-valve engine, delivering about 30 hp, and it added four-wheel brakes. A coupe version was later offered.

The last model was the Coadou-Fleury Aérolithe, with an aerodynamic body. One unit has survived to today. The company dissolved in 1934.
