{{DISPLAYTITLE:''k''-way merge algorithm}}
In [[computer science]], '''''k''-way merge algorithms''' or multiway merges are a specific type of [[Merge algorithm|sequence merge algorithms]] that specialize in taking in k sorted lists and merging them into a single sorted list. These merge algorithms generally refer to merge algorithms that take in a number of sorted lists greater than two. Two-way merges are also referred to as binary merges. The k-way merge is also an external sorting algorithm.
