In [[computing]], '''memory mapping''' may refer to:

* [[Memory-mapped file]], also known as <code>mmap()</code>

* [[Memory-mapped I/O]], an alternative to [[port I/O]]; a communication between CPU and peripheral device using the same instructions, and same bus, as between CPU and memory

* [[Virtual memory]], technique which gives an application program the impression that it has contiguous working memory, while in fact it is physically fragmented and may even overflow on to disk storage

* [[Port-mapped I/O]], a method complementary to Memory-mapped I/O
