Tizen () is a Linux-based operating system primarily developed by Samsung Electronics and supported by the Linux Foundation.

The project was originally conceived as an HTML5-based platform for mobile devices to succeed MeeGo. It was backed by other companies under the Tizen Association. Samsung merged its previous Linux-based OS effort, Bada, into Tizen and has since used it primarily on platforms such as smart TVs and wearable devices (until 2021).
