'''Script Editor''' (called '''AppleScript Editor''' from 2009 to 2014) is a [[Source code editor|code editor]] for the [[AppleScript]] scripting language, included in [[classic Mac OS]] and [[macOS]].
 
AppleScript Editor provides basic [[debugging]] capabilities and can save AppleScripts as ''plain text'' (.applescript), as a ''compiled script'' (.scpt), as a ''script bundle'' (.scptd), or as an ''application'' (.app). AppleScript Editor also handles script dictionary files, allowing the user to see what scripting classes and commands are available for each scriptable application installed on the computer.
 
Introduced in 1997 with [[Mac OS 8|Mac OS 8.0]], Script Editor was originally developed using [[Carbon (API)|Carbon]]. [[Mac OS X 10.3]] introduced a new Script Editor written using [[Cocoa (API)|Cocoa]]. From [[Mac OS X 10.6]] to [[OS X 10.10|10.10]], it was called AppleScript Editor. It likely regained its original name because of the introduction of [[JavaScript for Automation]].
