The '''ACME Corporation''' is a generic name for companies used in both the real world and fictional stories, particularly in comedy and animation. Although the brand name is Greek for "highest point", ACME products are typically portrayed in fiction as unreliable and fragile, most famously in the not-yet-public domain escapades of Wile E. Coyote. In the real world, ACME was a common name for brands that wanted to be placed at the top of phone books, due to it being comprised of letters early in the alphabet, but would mostly fall out of use as cartoons created an association of the name with danger and fragility.

All appearances of ACME from before January 1, )-(95)}} are public domain in the US.
