L'entreprise sidérurgique et charbonnière Société anonyme d'Ougrée-Marihaye trouve son origine en 1835 par la fusion de deux entreprises charbonnières et sidérurgique d'Ougrée (désormais Seraing) en province de Liège en Belgique, avec les charbonnages de Marihaye de Seraing. L'entreprise fusionne en 1955 avec la Société anonyme John Cockerill pour former Cockerill-Ougrée, également entreprise sidérurgique et dans une moindre mesure charbonnière.
