In informatica con la locuzione inglese dual boot (letteralmente: "doppio avvio") si indica la possibilità di scegliere, al momento dell'avvio (boot) del computer, tra due o più (multiboot), sistemi operativi precedentemente installati sul medesimo computer; in ogni caso i diversi sistemi operativi possono essere avviati solo alternativamente e non contemporaneamente.
