Convex Computer Corporation was a computer hardware and software company that founded in 1982 by Bob Paluck and Steve Wallach. It was headquartered in Richardson, Texas. Convex was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in December 1995.

Convex developed hardware and software for the high performance computing market. The hardware was originally a vector processing architecture similar to other supercomputers of that time. Eventually Convex developed large parallel computing architectures based on RISC processors.
