Verney-Carron is a French weapons-manufacturing company based in Saint-Etienne which has been making firearms under that name since 1820. They produce a wide range of fine shotguns and rifles for hunting. Although more well known in France than Europe or North America, export of the firearms to South America and parts of Europe is not uncommon.

Verney-Carron also notably designs and produce the "flash-ball" riot-control less lethal rubber bullet gun widely used by French police forces since 2000.
