INDUMIL (Industria Militar, English: Military Industry) is a Colombian-based military weapons manufacturer. The company is run by the Colombian government. It was originally known as "Taller Nacional de Artes Mecánicas" (English: National Workshop of Mechanic Crafts). It was founded in 1908 as a dependency of the Ministry of War (currently the Ministry of Defense). The institution was renamed Indumil in 1954 as an autonomous organisation.

The flag is a horizontal triband, that is: three stripes (green on top, white on the middle and black on the bottom) with the arms in the middle.
