Wyse is both the type of and the name of a manufacturer of computer terminals. Although Wyse terminals are generally incompatible with VT100 and ANSI compatible terminals, many Wyse terminals do have the ability to emulate terminals that are ANSI-compatible. Wyse terminals also have a proprietary native language and do not recognize the Unix TERM variable. Like many hardware terminals, Wyse terminals use their own sets of escape sequences. Most people recognize Wyse terminals as those used with older Dynix library information systems (electronic card catalog).

The official name of the company that makes Wyse terminals is Wyse Technology. Wyse Technology was founded in 1981 and is based in San Jose, California, U.S.A. and Hsin-Chu, Taiwan.
