'''Lorraine-Dietrich''' was an automobile and aero-engine manufacturer from 1896 - 1935. They were headquartered in the then-disputed province of Lorraine, which, at the time the marque began the manufacture of cars, was annexed to Germany.

==Beginnings==
In 1896, railway locomotive manufactureres [[De Dietrich Ferroviaire|De Dietrich et Cie]] branched into the manufacture of automobiles, building Amédée Bollée , [[Vivinus]], and [[Turcat-Méry]] cars under licence.

The name of the automotive and aero-engine division was changed to Lorraine-Dietrich in 1908.

==Post-World War I==
After World War I, with Lorraine restored to France, the entity restarted manufacture of automobiles and aero-engines. Their 12-cylinder aero-engines were used by [[Société Anonyme des Ateliers d'Aviation Louis Breguet|Breguet]], [[Industria Aeronautică Română|IAR]], and [[Aero Vodochody|Aero]], among others. Their inter-war automobile line included the 2,297 cc 12 CV four, the 3,445 cc 15 CV six, and the 6,107 cc 30 CV six.

==Le Mans victory==
Their 15 CV model won the third and fourth stagings of the [[24 Hours of Le Mans|Le Mans 24 Hours Race]] in 1925 and 1926. Lorraine-Dietrich thus became the first marque to win at Le Mans twice and the first to win there in two consecutive years.

==End of automobile production==
Automobile production eventually became unprofitable for the marque and, after the failure of their 4,086 cc 20 CV model, the concern ceased production of automobiles in 1935.
