Strange Company is a group of machinima creators and distributors based in Edinburgh, Scotland. They are mostly known in the medium for running the Machinima.com website, which distributes such films on the Internet since the year 2000.

It was founded by Hugh Hannock in 1997, at the time a student at Edinburgh University and a part-time journalist with an interest in the computer game Quake. The company incorporated Gordon McDonald in 1999, a commercial film-maker and soundscape artist, and together they created the Machinima.com website, a hub for machinima producers on the Internet. The company focuses on the creation of machinima productions, having worked on commercial animation production since 1999, and has since produced animation for companies and organisations such as Electronic Arts, BAFTA, Scottish Television and the BBC, and highly-acclaimed independent releases such as Eschaton: Nightfall and Ozymandias.

Strange Company participated in the formation of the Academy of Machinima Arts & Sciences, and is now working on the first feature-length machinima film, BloodSpell, an independent production which is purportedly the largest independent machinima production to date.
