This article presents a list of commands used by [[DOS]] [[operating system]]s, especially as used on [[x86]]-based [[IBM PC compatible]]s (PCs). [[List of DOS operating systems#Other operating systems|Other DOS operating systems]] are not part of the scope of this list.

In DOS, many standard [[system command]]s were provided for common tasks such as listing files on a disk or moving files. Some commands were built into the command interpreter, others existed as external commands on disk. Over the several generations of DOS, commands were added for the additional functions of the operating system. In the current [[Microsoft Windows library files|Microsoft Windows]] operating system, a text-mode command prompt window, [[cmd.exe]], can still be used.
