'''ICCF numeric notation''' is the official [[chess notation]] system of the [[International Correspondence Chess Federation]]. The system was devised for use in international [[correspondence chess]] to avoid the potential confusion of using [[Algebraic notation (chess)|algebraic notation]], as the [[chess pieces]] have different abbreviations depending on language.

In ICCF numeric notation, each square of the [[chessboard]] has a two-digit designation. The first digit is the number of the {{chessgloss|file}}; files are numbered 1 to 8 from left to right from White's point of view. The second digit is the {{chessgloss|rank}}; ranks are numbered 1 to 8 from nearest to farthest from White's point of view. Each move is denoted by either four or five digits: the first two digits denote the square the moving piece leaves; the following two digits denote the square at which the moving piece arrives; and, where applicable, the fifth digit denotes the piece of [[Promotion (chess)|promotion]].<ref>{{harvcol|Just|Burg|2003|pp=221–22}}</ref>
