Boolean may refer to:
- Boolean algebraBoolean algebraIn abstract algebra, a Boolean algebra or Boolean lattice is a complemented distributive lattice. This type of algebraic structure captures essential properties of both set operations and logic operations. A Boolean algebra can be seen as a generalization of a power set algebra or a field of sets...
, a logical calculus of truth values or set membership - Boolean algebra (structure), a set with operations resembling logical ones
- Boolean data type, a certain datatype in computer science
- Boolean function, a function that determines Boolean values or operators
- Boolean logicBoolean logicBoolean algebra is a logical calculus of truth values, developed by George Boole in the 1840s. It resembles the algebra of real numbers, but with the numeric operations of multiplication xy, addition x + y, and negation −x replaced by the respective logical operations of...

over relation algebras - Boolean networkBoolean networkA Boolean network consists of a set of Boolean variables whose state is determined by other variables in the network. They are a particular case of discrete dynamical networks, where time and states are discrete, i.e. they have a bijection onto an integer series...
, a certain network consisting of a set of Boolean variables whose state is determined by other variables in the network - Boolean satisfiability problemBoolean satisfiability problemIn computer science, satisfiability is the problem of determining if the variables of a given Boolean formula can be assigned in such a way as to make the formula evaluate to TRUE...
- Boolean semigroup, an algebraic structure
