In engineering and computing, a stovepipe system is a legacy system which cannot be upgraded or refactored, but which must be built around until it can be replaced entirely.

Examples of stovepipe systems include systems for which new hardware is no longer available, or for which the original source code has been lost, or built using old or ad hoc engineering methodologies for which support can no longer be found.
