Navision is the former name of Dynamics NAV, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) development platform produced by Microsoft.

Dynamics NAV uses a proprietary programming language called C/AL, which is syntactically similar to Pascal. The C/AL runtime provides constructs for interacting with database records, files and the host environment. Runtime functionality can be extended using COM and .NET.

The early versions (from 3, 4 to 2009) were called Navision, while the later versions (from 2013 to 2017) are called Dynamics NAV.
