Algorismus vel Algoritmus vel Algorizmi (indecl.; vide imaginem) (Arabice:محمد بن موسى ابو جعفر الخوارزمي Muḥammad bin Mūsā Abū Ǧaʿfar al-Ḫwārizmi, natus Chorasmiae circa 780; mortuus Bagdati inter annos 835 et 850) fuit mathematicus, astronomus, geographus Persicus. Verba algorismi et algorithmi de eius nomine deducuntur (Daffa 1977). Suum nomen etiam est origo verborum Hispanici guarismo et Lusitanici algarismo, ambobus 'digitus' significantibus.

Propter opera sua, systema decimale numerorum Arabicorum in Europa notum est.
