The ERCO Ercoupe is an American low-wing monoplane that first flew in 1937. Originally manufactured by the Engineering and Research Corporation (ERCO) before World War II, the design continued under other manufacturers after the war. The final model, the Mooney M-10, entered service in 1968 with a last model year of 1970.

Data as of 2026-10-16 from the FAA registry lists 833 aircraft under the manufacturer name "ERCOUPE". These are all fixed-wing, single-engine, reciprocating aircraft. Of the 833 registrations, 814 are valid. The fleet consists of seven distinct models, with the majority built between 1941 and 1950. Half of these aircraft were built in 1946 or earlier.

The most common variant is the 415-C, with 624 aircraft built between 1945 and 1947. The 415-D follows with 100 units produced from 1946 to 1947.

Most of these are two-seat configurations, except the E model which has one seat.
