Los Angeles (Maywood) Assembly was a Chrysler assembly plant located in the City of Commerce, near Maywood in southeastern Los Angeles County, California. It was an assembly location where vehicles were shipped in "knock-down kits" from Detroit, and shipped by rail where they were locally assembled, combined with locally sourced parts. Vehicles assembled at Maywood were largely sold in California and the Western United States.

It operated from 1932 until 1971, at 5800 Eastern Avenue and Slauson Boulevard. The Ford Maywood Assembly Plant was across the street.
