In Unix computing, Blackbox is a window manager for the X Window System. It is minimalist and popular among those seeking a fast, clean and light environment.

Blackbox has specific design goals, and some functionality is provided only through other applications. One example is the bbkeys hotkey application.

Blackbox is written in C++[4][5] and contains completely original code.[6] It was created by Bradley T. Hughes[7] and is available under the MIT License.

There are a number of window managers based on Blackbox[8]:

Although they share no code, these projects are also inspired by blackbox.
