American Overseas Airlines (AOA) was a mid-20th-century United States airline focused primarily on transatlantic air transportation between the United States and Europe. It was established in 1945, during the postwar expansion of civilian aviation and international passenger services. The airline operated transatlantic routes before being acquired by Pan American Airways in 1950. Following the acquisition, it ceased to operate as an independent airline. Public information about AOA is limited and generally focuses on its formation, transatlantic operations, and absorption into Pan Am.

American Overseas Airlines was established in 1945 as part of the postwar expansion of civilian international aviation in the United States. Its principal business was transatlantic air transportation, serving international passengers traveling between the United States and Europe. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, the transatlantic market was developing rapidly, with airlines competing over routes, aircraft, and international operating rights. AOA operated in this market for a relatively short period. Pan American Airways acquired American Overseas Airlines in 1950, after which AOA was absorbed into the Pan Am system and ceased to operate as an independent airline. Publicly available information about the company is limited; its best-documented milestones are its formation in 1945 and acquisition by Pan Am in 1950.
