Michelin (full name: Compagnie Générale des Établissements Michelin SCA) is a French tire manufacturer based in Clermont-Ferrand in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes région of France.

It is the second largest tire manufacturer in the world after Bridgestone and larger than both Goodyear and Continental.

In addition to the Michelin brand, it also owns the Kléber tyres company, Uniroyal-Goodrich Tire Company, SASCAR, Bookatable and Camso brands.

Michelin is also notable for its Red and Green travel guides, its roadmaps, the Michelin stars that the Red Guide awards to restaurants for their cooking, and for its company mascot Bibendum, colloquially known as the Michelin Man.

Michelin's numerous inventions include the removable tire, the pneurail (a tire for rubber-tyred metros) and the radial tire.
