Driggs-Seabury was an American automobile manufacturer based in Sharon, Pennsylvania, which operated briefly from 1915 to 1916. Originally established as the Driggs-Seabury Ordnance Corporation, the company was primarily known for producing armaments. However, it also ventured into the automotive industry by manufacturing vehicles for other companies and creating its own line of cars.

The company's notable product was a cyclecar that featured a four-cylinder engine and an underslung frame. It was available in two configurations: a tandem two-seater with friction transmission and chain drive, and a side-by-side roadster equipped with a conventional two-speed gearbox. Both models were priced at $395. In late 1915, the company rebranded the cyclecar as the Sharon, named after its manufacturing location.

Following World War I, Driggs-Seabury expanded its operations and produced additional models, including the Driggs, Ritz, Twombly, and Vulcan, at a factory in New Haven, Connecticut. Despite its brief existence, Driggs-Seabury contributed to the early automotive landscape in the United States.
