In computer science, the happened-before relation (denoted: \to \;) is a relation between the result of two events, such that if one event should happen before another event, the result must reflect that, even if those events are in reality executed out of order (usually to optimize program flow). This involves ordering events based on the potential causal relationship of pairs of events in a concurrent system, especially asynchronous distributed systems. It was formulated by Leslie Lamport.

The happened-before relation is formally defined as the least strict partial order on events such that: If events a \; and b \; occur on the same process, a \to b\; if the occurrence of event a \; preceded the occurrence of event b \;. If event a \; is the sending of a message and event b \; is the reception of the message sent in event a \;, a \to b\;.
