WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation, founded in 1983 as the Classic Aircraft Corporation and located in Battle Creek, Michigan, is a manufacturer of general aviation airplanes.

WACO Classic Aircraft builds, in relatively small numbers, a three-seat biplane, the WACO Classic YMF, based upon the original manufacturing plans which were filed by WACO (Weaver Aircraft Company of Ohio) with the Library of Congress and thus available. The aircraft are constructed on the airport at the W. K. Kellogg Regional Airport in Battle Creek, Michigan. They also repair original "classic" WACOs.

While the aircraft they build is a longstanding design, many systems, like brakes, have been upgraded to newer and safer technology. They are built with much of the original hand construction methods and are sought after as a classical open-cockpit aircraft, but with modern electronics. However, Waco Classic offers only one of several models of Wacos that were built.
