Hammond Map or Hammond World Atlas Corporation is an American map company. The company was founded in 1900 in Brooklyn, New York by Caleb Stillson Hammond, who had previously headed Rand McNally's New York City office since 1894. It was formally incorporated in 1901 as C. S. Hammond & Co. and moved to Manhattan. It soon relocated to a warehouse in Maplewood, New Jersey that was near Hammond's family home.

Until the advent of digital mapping from Google Earth predecessor Keyhole in the mid-2000s, it provided the mapping technology for CNN and Headline News.
