The SOCATA TBM (now Daher TBM) is a family of high-performance single-engine turboprop business and utility light aircraft capable of seating a maximum of six people and manufactured by Daher. It was originally collaboratively developed between the American Mooney Airplane Company and French light aircraft manufacturer SOCATA.

Upon its entry onto the market in 1990, it was the first high-performance single-engine passenger/cargo aircraft to enter production. Shortly after launch, the TBM 700 was a market success, which led to the production of multiple variants and improved models, often incorporating more powerful engines and new avionics. The TBM 850 is an improved version of the aircraft powered by a single Pratt & Whitney PT6A-66D. In March 2014, an aerodynamically refined version, marketed as the TBM 900, was made available. A total of 345 TBM 700s were built between 1990 and 2005.
