Oerlikon-Bührle (full name Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik Oerlikon, Bührle & Co., initially Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik Oerlikon) was a Swiss armaments company based in Oerlikon (Zürich) from 1906 to 1999.

After restructurings and the sale of various core divisions, in particular the armaments division Oerlikon Contraves Defence to the German Rheinmetall DeTec, the holding company was merged into the present OC Oerlikon in January 2000.
