FreeFem++ is a programming language and a software focused on solving partial differential equations using the finite element method. FreeFem++ is written in C++ and developed and maintained by Université Pierre et Marie Curie and Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions. It runs on Linux, Solaris, macOS and Microsoft Windows systems. FreeFem++ is free software (LGPL). FreeFem++ language is inspired by C++. There is an IDE called FreeFem++-cs.

In 1992 it was re-written in C++ and named FreeFem. Later versions, FreeFem+ (1996) and FreeFem++ (1998), used that programming language too.

== Other versions == FreeFem++ includes versions for console mode and MPI FreeFem3D Deprecated versions:
