Framo is a German manufacturer of trucks. It was established by Danish engineer Jørgen Skafte Rasmussen, the founder of DKW, in 1923. The company made minivans, motor tricycles and cars and was based in Saxony, Germany. Framo became the core of the Barkas minivan manufacturer in 1957.

The Framo brand was reactivated by Framo GmbH, founded in 2014, which develops and manufactures electric trucks.
