In-Sink-Erator is a company and brand name, known for producing garbage disposal (garburator) systems. The company was founded in Racine, Wisconsin by John Hammes, an architect. Hammes is credited with inventing the garbage disposal in 1927.

The company is now a division of Emerson Appliance Solutions, part of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), a global technology and engineering company which serves industrial, commercial, and consumer markets.

The name is a play on the word "incinerator" and refers to the fact that the disposal unit, which works by crushing and shredding solid kitchen waste, is located usually in the sink.
