The Akron Two-Cycle Automobile Company was established in 1905 in Akron, Ohio, by Albert Woodruff. The formation of this small automobile manufacturer followed the death of Albert's brother, George Woodruff, and the subsequent failure of their previous venture, the Woodruff Automobile Company.

The company specialized in the production of two-cycle engines, which were a notable feature of their automotive designs. In addition to their engine manufacturing, Akron Two-Cycle Automobile Co. also produced a limited number of touring cars, with a total of four models built during its operation. The company represents a brief chapter in the early automotive industry of the United States.
