In informatica il mainframe computer (ellissi utilizzata comunemente: mainframe), o sistema centrale, è un tipo di computer caratterizzato da prestazioni di elaborazione dati di alto livello e di tipo centralizzato, opposto dunque a quello di un sistema distribuito come un Computer cluster. Tipicamente sono presenti in grandi sistemi informatici come i CED o organizzazioni (pubbliche e private) dove sono richiesti elevati livelli di multiutenza, enormi volumi di dati e grandi prestazioni elaborative, uniti ad alta affidabilità.
