The '''Berlekamp-Massey algorithm''' is an [[algorithm]] for finding the shortest [[linear feedback shift register]] (LFSR) for a given output sequence. Equivalently, it is an algorithm for finding the [[minimal polynomial]] of a [[Recurrence relation|linearly recurrent sequence]].
 
The algorithm was invented by [[Elwyn Berlekamp]] in 1968. Its connection to linear codes was observed by [[J.L. Massey]] the following year. It became the key to practical application of the now ubiquitous [[Reed-Solomon error correction|Reed-Solomon code]].
