Skis Rossignol S.A., or simply Rossignol, is a French manufacturer of ski and snowboarding equipment, located in Isère, France.

The company was founded in 1907 as a textile- and ski manufacturer. When Nils Boix Vives bought the company in the 1950's, the company only focused on skiing equipment. Rossignol had a breakthrough during the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, USA, and from then on the company grew.

Rossignol was one of the first companies to produce plastic skis. The company also owns the brand Dynastar as well as LOOK. In 2005, Rossignol was bought by the boardsport equipment manufacturer Quiksilver.[1]
