Flatpak (vorher auch xdg-app) ist eine Software zur Softwareverteilung und Virtualisierung von Desktop-Anwendungen unter Linux-Betriebssystemen. Es stellt dafür eine Sandbox-Umgebung zur Verfügung, in der der Anwender bzw. Entwickler Anwendungen isoliert vom Rest des Systems laufen lassen kann.Ein Flatpak für ein Programm beinhaltet alle Abhängigkeiten für dieses eine Programm. Ein Vorteil ist dabei, dass das Programm unter jedem Linux ausgeführt werden kann. Ein Nachteil ist hingegen ein stark erhöhter Speicherbedarf durch unvermeidliche Redundanzen (siehe ).
