The Nuffield Organisation was an automobile manufacturing company in the United Kingdom. Named for its financier, William Morris, 1st Viscount Nuffield, was formed in 1938 as the merger of Nuffield's Morris Motor Company with Wolseley and (bankrupt) Riley/Autovia.

During World War II Nuffield was engaged in military production. Automobile production of Morris, Wolseley and Riley marques restarted in the 1940s. Post war, Nuffield started on tractor production with the 1948 Nuffield Universal.

The Nuffield Organisation merged with the Austin Motor Company to form the British Motor Corporation in 1952.
