Ajax Corporation is a fictional corporation in the Disney universe. It is a parody of the Acme Corporation made famous by Warner Bros. Ajax has appeared regularly on the shows Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse.

An early appearance of the Ajax Corporation can be seen in the 1937 Mickey Mouse short "Lonesome Ghosts," starring Mickey Mouse , Donald Duck , and Goofy . In this short cartoon the trio are working in an office with a door labeled "Ajax Ghost Exterminators; Day & Night Service."

Whereas the Acme Corporation manufacture surreal cartoon gadgetry, the Ajax products tend to be more down-to-earth in nature, such as paint , bubblegum , and lightbulbs. Ajax also branches out in a number of services that usually employ Disney's standard characters, such as the Ajax Ghost Exterminators, Ajax Locksmiths, and the Ajax Lost and Found. These services are more commonly seen in the more recent Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse cartoons.

A gorilla named Ajax also appeared in various Donald Duck cartoons during the 1940s.
