DuMont Laboratories was an American television equipment manufacturer. The company was founded in 1931, by inventor Allen B. DuMont. Among the company's developments were long-lasting cathode ray tubes that would be used for television.

In 1938, the company began manufacturing televisions. To sell televisions, DuMont began the DuMont Television Network, one of the earliest television networks. Later on, they manufactured cameras and transmitters for television. DuMont equipment was known for its high quality.

DuMont televisions outside the United States were assembled under licence in Montreal, Canada by Canadian Aviation Electronics, currently a manufacturer of flight simulator and pilot training equipment.
