In genomics, DNA–DNA hybridization is a molecular biology technique that measures the degree of genetic similarity between DNA sequences. It is used to determine the genetic distance between two organisms and has been used extensively in phylogeny and taxonomy.

This article is about the specific use in genomics. For the general phenomenon, see Nucleic acid thermodynamics § Hybridization.
