The Wilbur Chocolate Company is a chocolate manufacturing company located in Lititz, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1865 by Henry Oscar Wilbur and Samuel Croft. It produces more than 150 million pounds of chocolate a year, which is sold to major food companies and thousands of small shops.

The company was bought by Cargill in 1992 and is presently part of that company's cocoa and chocolate labels, which also includes Peter's Chocolate (bought from Nestle in 2002), Gerkens Cacao, and Toshoku Ltd.

The company's Wilbur Chocolate Factory in Lititz sells an assortment of Wilbur chocolates and other candy, and features the free Candy Americana Museum that tells the history of the company and how their chocolate is made. The exhibits include antique chocolate molds, tins and boxes, as well as hand-painted European and Oriental antique porcelain chocolate pots. The museum was created by Penny Buzzard, wife of former Wilbur president John Buzzard, and opened in 1972.
