'''GFA BASIC''' is a [[Dialect (computing)|dialect]] of the [[BASIC]] [[programming language]], by [[Frank Ostrowski]].  The name is derived from the company ("GFA Systemtechnik GmbH"), which distributed the software. In the mid-1980s to the 1990s it enjoyed popularity as an advanced BASIC dialect, but has been mostly superseded by several other programming languages. Official support ended in the early 2000s.
