Apache Log4j is a Java-based logging utility originally written by Ceki Gülcü. It is part of the Apache Logging Services, a project of the Apache Software Foundation. Log4j is one of several Java logging frameworks.

Gülcü has since created SLF4J, Reload4j, and Logback which are alternatives to Log4j.
