Le Musical Instrument Digital Interface ou MIDI est un protocole de communication et un format de fichier dédiés à la musique, et utilisés pour la communication entre instruments électroniques, contrôleurs, séquenceurs, et logiciels de musique. Apparu dans les années 1980, issu d'une volonté de l'industrie de normaliser les échanges entre les différents instruments, ce protocole est devenu aujourd'hui un standard très répandu dans le matériel électronique de musique.
