Forth engines are hardware platforms specifically designed to support developing and running programs written in Forth.
(Likewise, [[Lisp machine]]s were specifically designed to support developing and running programs written in Lisp, the [[Pascal MicroEngine]] was specifically designed to support developing and running programs written in Pascal, etc.).
The first commercially available single-chip Forth engine was the Rockwell R65F11.<ref name="dumse" />
