C# (pronunciado si sharp en inglés) es un lenguaje de programación orientado a objetos desarrollado y estandarizado por Microsoft como parte de su plataforma .NET, que después fue aprobado como un estándar por la ECMA e ISO.

Su sintaxis básica deriva de C/C++ y utiliza el modelo de objetos de la plataforma.NET, similar al de Java aunque incluye mejoras derivadas de otros lenguajes (entre ellos Delphi).

El nombre C Sharp fue inspirado por la notación musical, donde ? (sostenido, en inglés sharp) indica que la nota (C es la nota do en inglés) es un semitono más alta, sugiriendo que C? es superior a C/C++.
