Sorefame (an abbreviation of Sociedades Reunidas de Fabricações Metálicas, meaning "Reunited Society of Metalwork Fabrications") was a Portuguese manufacturer of railway rolling stock and industrial equipment, such as dam gates equipment.

Established in 1943, the company was in the 1990s split into a rolling stock company, Nova Sorefame, and a dam equipment company, Hidrosorefame. Nova Sorefame became part of ABB's rail transport division, later Adtranz, and in 2001 part of Bombardier transportation and was closed in 2005. Hidrosorefame was acquired by Alstom
