Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal is an essay about computer programming written by Ed Post, Tektronix, Inc, Wilsonville OR USA. It has been published as a letter to the editor in Datamation, volume 29 number 7, July 1983. The title is a parody of the bestselling tongue-in-cheek book on stereotypes about masculinity, Real Men Don't Eat Quiche.

A version of the classic Snoopy Calendar program from 1969 (referred to in the essay) can be found here.
