'''Halstead complexity measures''' are [[software metric]]s introduced by Maurice Howard Halstead in 1977<ref>{{cite book |author=Halstead, Maurice H. |title=Elements of Software Science |publisher=Elsevier North-Holland, Inc. |___location=Amsterdam |year=1977 |isbn=0-444-00205-7}}</ref> as part of his treatise on establishing an empirical science of software development.
Halstead made the observation that metrics of the software should reflect the implementation or expression of algorithms in different languages, but be independent of their execution on a specific platform.
