Aerocondor (ATA Aerocondor Transportes Aéreos Lda) was an airline and flight school based in Cascais, Portugal. It was a regional airline operating scheduled services in mainland Portugal and to Madeira, as well as scheduled passenger services in France and charter services to the United Kingdom and Spain. Its main bases were Portela Airport, Lisbon and Madeira Airport with its own flight school in Cascais Aerodrome.

The airline started operations in 1975 and was part of the Aerocondor Group. It was owned by Aerocondor SGPS (85.15%) and Gestair Group (14.85%) and had 90 employees, with headquarters at Cascais Aerodrome.
