Empire Company Limited (TSX|EMP) is a Canadian holding company based in Stellarton, Nova Scotia.

Controlled by the Sobey family, Empire is sole owner of the Canadian grocery chain Sobeys Inc., as well as various commercial real estate and residential development companies, notably ASC (originally Atlantic Shopping Centres) and Crombie REIT.
