Zeigler Coal Company was a coal mining company founded by Joseph Leiter along with its company town of Zeigler, Illinois in 1903.

It was controlled by the Zeigler Coal Holding Company, which, in 1998, was purchased by the Addington Brothers AEI Resources. The company produced steam-grade coal, which it primarily sold to electric utilities.

The company had registered a reporting mark, ZCCX, with the AAR. At least one piece of rolling stock, originally their NW2 switcher #2-22, remains in full Zeigler Coal Company Paint.
