Saema was a Brazilian musical instrument manufacturer that operated through the 1960s and 1970s, part of the wave of national instrument makers established by Italian immigrant families alongside contemporaries like Giannini, Sonelli, Del Vecchio, and Di Giorgio. The company produced a notably broad catalog for a Brazilian maker of the era, including electric guitars, drum kits, guitar amplifiers, and electric organs.

The brand is best remembered for its electric guitars — including a Supersonic-style model that mixed single-coil and humbucker pickups — and for its drum kits, which were regarded as professional-grade and competed in the domestic market with Gope and RMV. The "Saema Rock" drum line is among the better-documented product names from the company's catalog.

Production wound down in subsequent decades and Saema is no longer an active manufacturer. Surviving instruments circulate as vintage pieces on the Brazilian secondhand market, and the brand is generally treated as a collector's item within the larger story of mid-century Brazilian instrument making.

Saema has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Synthesizers and Organs.
