Yashica Co., Ltd. (株式会社ヤシカ, Kabushiki-gaisha Yashica) was a Japanese manufacturer of cameras, lenses, and film editing equipment active from 1949[1] until 2005[2] when its then-owner, Kyocera, ceased production. It acquired the lens manufacturer Tomioka (Tomioka Optical Co., Ltd).

In 2008, the Yashica name reappeared on cameras produced by the Hong Kong–based MF Jebsen Group.[2] In 2015, trademark rights were transferred to Yashica International Company Limited and appointed 100 Enterprises International Group Co. Limited as Yashica Global Sole Agent.[citation needed]
