ITV Parapentes (ITV Paragliders) is a French aircraft manufacturer based in Doussard and formerly in Épagny, Haute-Savoie. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of paragliders in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft. The company also constructs paramotor wings.[1][2]

The company was founded in the 1980s and grew to be one of the largest paraglider manufacturers in the world.[1]

In the early 2000s the company had a range of beginner gliders including the Opale and the Proxima, plus several intermediate gliders, such as the Diamant, Polaris and the Tomahawk. They also built a two-place glider for flight training, the Turquoise. All gliders were designed by Xavier Demoury.[1]
