Funai Electric Co., Ltd. (船井電機株式会社, Funai Denki Kabushiki Gaisha) was a Japanese consumer electronics company headquartered in Daitō, Osaka. Currently, it is in liquidation. Apart from producing its own branded electronic products, it was also an OEM providing assembled televisions and video players/recorders to major corporations such as Sharp, Toshiba, Denon, and others. Funai supplied inkjet printer hardware technology to Dell and Lexmark, and produced printers under the Kodak name.

Its United States–based subsidiary Funai Corporation, Inc., based in Torrance, California, marketed Funai products in the US, along with Funai-licensed brands including Philips, Magnavox, Emerson Radio, and Sanyo. Funai was the main supplier of electronics to Walmart and Sam's Club stores in the US, with production output in excess of 2 million flat-panel televisions during the summertime per year for Black Friday sale.
