REALbasic is an object-oriented version of the BASIC language intended for cross-platform development.

REALbasic is a strongly-typed, object-oriented version of the BASIC programming language whose flagship feature is probably its rich support for cross-platform application development. It supports Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, most 32-bit versions of Linux, and web applications.

It was developed and is currently marketed commercially by Xojo of Austin, Texas. Versions since 2013 have been called Xojo.

The language supports single inheritance and interfaces, class methods and properties, automatic memory management via reference counting, operator overloading, delegates, introspection, and namespaces. The built-in framework also offers an extensive set of functionality, which helps to make rapid application development possible.

The primary development environment for REALbasic is REAL Studio, marketed by the same company.
