An '''IANA character set name''' (often simply called a '''charset''') is a standardized name for a [[character encoding]]. Many standards, such as [[HTML]] and [[MIME]], make use of these standard names. Examples of such names are "US-ASCII", "UTF-8", "windows-1252", and "Shift_JIS".

The names are case-insensitive. Aliases (multiple names for the same encoding) are common.
