Scaled Composites (pogosto samo Scaled) je ameriško letalskovesoljsko podjetje, ki ga je ustanovil Burt Rutan leta 1982. Sedež podjetja je v kraju Mojave v ameriški zvezni državi Kalifornija. Scaled Composites je bil preteklosti nekaj časa v lasti podjetja Beech Aircraft Corporation, trenutno je v lasti korporacije Northrop Grumman.
Podjetje je znano po nekonvencionalnih visokosposbnih letalih grajenih večinoma iz kompozitnih materialov. Zasnovali so tudi Model 76 Voyager prvo letalo, ki je poletelo okrog sveta brez postanka (nonstop) in brez prečrpavanja goriva.
Scaled Composite je zasnoval tudi podorbitalno plovilo SpaceShipOne, ki je dobilo nagrado Ansari X Prize.

In 1991, to address a requirement to launch a booster heavier than 500,000 pounds, [Rutan] did the Model 205 and 206 preliminary designs.
