Upper Vinyan Aviation (Kolodorian: Augšējā Vinjanas Aviācija), was a aircraft mansufacturer created in 1935 in the Confederation of Kolodoria. Founded by airplane enthusiast and businessman Meikuls Melderis as a response to the Fyrish Lower Vinyan Aviation. Upper Vinyan Aviation produced a number of light aircraft including biplanes and monoplanes. It was absorbed into the State operated Aerial Conglomerate in 1940 following the outbreak of the Northern War, returing to private ownership in 1945. It continued to operate a single manufacturing plant until 1954 when the corporation and its assets were officially nationalized and redistrubted following the establishment of communist rule in Kolodoria.
