Romanization is the representation in the Latin alphabet of a language normally written in another writing system. Romanization may also refer to:

  • Romanization (cultural), the expansion of Roman culture, law, and language
  • Latinisation of names, practice of rendering a non-Latin name (or word) in a Latin style
  • Latinisation in the Soviet Union, the Latinization of languages inside the former USSR
  • Romanization (religious), the practice of modifying other rites of the Catholic Church (or even of Orthodox churches) to more resemble the Latin (Roman) rite; the proper term is liturgical Latinisation
  • Representation in roman type of formerly italicized foreign words and phrases after they have become assimilated into English
