Aspall Cyder Ltd is a manufacturer of cider and other apple-derived products. Its cidery is located at Aspall Hall in the village of Aspall, Suffolk, England. It was bought by Molson Coors in 2018.

The business was originally established in the early 18th century. Production was based on apple trees initially introduced for the use of the Chevalliers of Aspall Hall, the owners of the estate, from their native Jersey. In 1946, the company was a founding member of the Soil Association. 

In addition to cider, Aspall also produces unfermented apple juice, organic apple cider vinegar and apple-based balsamic vinegar. The company also imports and markets: Spanish red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, and Italian organic balsamic vinegar.

On 7 January 2018, it was announced that the Aspall company had been sold to Molson Coors Brewing Company, ending 290 years of independently owned manufacturing. The deal is understood to give the company an enterprise value of £40m, although this figure includes debt (roughly £19m in 2016 accounts) and a promise of investment from Molson.

In a January 2019 BBC interview, Aspall manager Dale Scott revealed a £10 million investment plan to improve the site’s facilities. Improvements would include a new processing building, weighbridge for vehicles and extra storage tanks.
