Starr Manufacturing Co. Ltd. was best known as a maker of ice skates. It was founded in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, by John Starr in 1861 as a manufacturer of nails, nuts and bolts.

Starr became one of the most popular ice skate manufacturers, although other companies copied their spring design. In the 1920s, Starr began making skates that came attached to boots, but lapsed patents and the Great Depression sent the company into decline.
