The '''Abstract Window Toolkit''' ('''AWT' '') is [[Java (programming language)|Java]]'s original platform-dependent [[Windowing system|windowing]], [[graphic]]s, and [[user-interface]] [[widget toolkit]], preceding [[Swing (Java)|Swing]]. The AWT is part of the [[Java Foundation Classes]] (JFC) — the standard [[Application programming interface|API]] for providing a [[graphical user interface]] (GUI) for a Java program.

AWT is also the GUI toolkit for a number of [[Java Platform, Micro Edition|Java ME]] profiles. For example, [[Connected Device Configuration]] profiles require Java [[software execution | runtime]]s on [[mobile telephone]]s to support the Abstract Window Toolkit.
