The Worshipful Company of Needlemakers is one of the livery companies of the City of London. The Needlemakers were given letters patent by Oliver Cromwell in 1656, and received a royal charter in 1664. The company gradually lost its role as a trade association, now acting as a supporter of the needle industry instead. Like the majority of livery companies, the Needlemakers' Company is also a charitable institution.
The Needlemakers' Company ranks sixty-fifth in the order of precedence of City livery companies. Its motto is They Sewed Fig Leaves Together and Made Themselves Aprons.
