GNAT Programming Studio (GPS, formerly known as the GNAT Programming System) is a free multi-language integrated development environment (IDE) by AdaCore. GPS uses compilers from the GNU Compiler Collection, taking its name from GNAT, the GNU compiler for the Ada programming language.

GPS is cross-platform, running on Linux, Microsoft Windows and Solaris. GPS uses GTK+ as the widget toolkit for its graphical user interface. Released under the GNAT Modified General Public License, GPS is free software.
