Casamigos, often Casamigos Tequila, is an American tequila company founded by George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman. It has been owned by Diageo since 2017.

Casamigos was named "Supreme Brand Champion" of 2022 by The Spirits Business, as "the fastest-growing spirit brand" of the year. Friends Gerber and Clooney started the company intending to make tequila according to their personal tastes and for their personal use, with no intent of taking the company public. The name Casamigos is a portmanteau of the Spanish casa (house) and amigos (friends), thus "house of friends".

It was purchased in June 2017 by the multinational beverage company Diageo for $700 million plus up to a further $300 million based on the brand's performance. The purchase equated to Diageo paying almost $500 a bottle.
