In the field of [[control engineering]], a '''map-based controller''' is a controller whose outputs are based on values derived from a pre-defined [[lookup table]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Eriksson|first=Lars|title=Modeling and control of engines and drivelines|date=2014|publisher=Wiley|others=Lars Nielsen|isbn=978-1-118-53620-9|___location=Hoboken|pages=274–275|chapter=10.1.2 Basic Control Using Maps|oclc=871860234}}</ref> The inputs to the controller are usually values taken from one or more sensors and are used to index the output values in the lookup table.<ref name=":0" /> By effectively placing the [[transfer function]] as discrete entries within a lookup table, engineers are free to modify smaller sections or update the whole list of entries as required.<ref name=":0" />

Map-based controllers are frequently used to manage fuel delivery systems in modern [[internal combustion engine]]s.
