GW-BASIC é uma versão do BASIC desenvolvida pela Microsoft a partir do BASICA, originalmente para a Compaq. Era fornecida juntamente com o resto do software do sistema operativo MS-DOS da Microsoft, com os PCs compatíveis IBM. A Microsoft chegou a vender um compilador BASIC, BASCOM, compatível com GW-BASIC, para aplicações que requeriam mais velocidade. A linguagem era apropriada para criar software simples, e como estava incluída na maioria das versões do MS-DOS, era igualmente uma forma barata de muitos programadores aprenderem o fundamental da computação. Com a versão 5.0 do MS-DOS, o GW-BASIC deu lugar ao QBasic, uma versão reduzida do compilador QuickBASIC.
