The Ailloud was a French automobile, built between 1898 and 1904 by Claudius Aillout of Lyon. The first car had a 618 cc twin-cylinder air-cooled engine, rear mounted, driving through a 3 speed gearbox and chain drive. To improve cooling the engine was soon moved to the front of the car. Probably only one was made.

He joined with Francisque Dumond in 1900 to form Automobiles Ailloud et Dumond and they made a small number of cars some with De Dion engines.
