Kord Industries (or Kord Enterprises) is a fictional company that exists in the DC Universe and is run by Ted Kord, the superhero Blue Beetle. Founded by his father, Ted Kord eventually takes Kord Industries over. It is often implied that Wayne Enterprises has folded Kord Industries into the Wayne Enterprises family, making it a subsidiary.Fact|date=February 2007

Kord Industries is seen as one of the three top companies in America, competing with Wayne Enterprises, and LexCorp (Lex Luthor's company).

Among Kord Industries products and holdings are the Blue Beetle's Bug, his flying vehicle; his BB Gun, a strobe light gun; and other gadgets employed by the Blue Beetle; as well as Blue & Gold, a video game company co-owned with Booster Gold.

Kord Industries contracts to clear the landing site of the space ship in which Supergirl arrives and comes into possession of a large supply of kryptonite. In several issues of the "Blue Beetle" comic book the company is referred to as K.O.R.D. Industries. An acronym for Kord Omniversal Research and Development.

In Green Arrow #52 a scene in Chicago narrates Kimiyo Hoshi (Dr. Light) as being promoted to President of K.O.R.D Industries after the death of Ted Kord.

In Gotham Underground #9 crime boss Tobias Whale was shown at a press conference being named C.E.O. of Kord Industries. Oswald Cobblepot, The Penguin, upon seeing this footage commented that "Kord Industries is in reality an Intergang Front."
