SPSS is een statistisch computerprogramma voor de sociale wetenschappen dat ontstaan is in 1968 en ontwikkeld werd door Norman Nie en Hadlai 'Tex' Hull. Oorspronkelijk was SPSS een acroniem dat stond voor Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.

Het programma SPSS werd eerst vooral gebruikt in de sociale wetenschappen zoals politicologie, sociologie en psychologie, maar nu is het ook in gebruik bij marketing, marktonderzoek, beleidsonderzoek en fraudedetectie.
