Digital Mars is a small American software company owned by Walter Bright that makes C, and C++ compilers (and associated utilities such as an IDE "IDDE") for Windows and DOS. They also distribute the compilers for free on their web site.

The C compiler was known, in different times, as Datalight C compiler, then Zorland C and then Zortech C. The C++ compiler was known as Zortech C++ (the first commercial C++ compiler for Windows), later Symantec C++ and now Digital Mars C++ (DMC++).

The company has gained notice in the software development community for the D programming language which they developed in-house.
