A Linux Foundation (LF) é uma organização sem fins lucrativos voltada para o desenvolvimento e aprimoramento de tecnologias de software livre e de código aberto (open source, na sigla em inglês). O principal projeto mantido pela Linux Foundation é o Kernel Linux. Fundada em 2000 pela fusão do Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) e o Free Standards Group (FSG), a Linux Foundation patrocina o trabalho do criador do Linux, Linus Torvalds, e é apoiada pelas empresas parceiras no desenvolvimento do Linux (aliança de desenvolvedores), que possui entre elas: Canonical, Red Hat, Google, Intel, AMD, Autodesk, Petrobras, Philips, Samsung, IBM, Adobe, entre outras empresas públicas, privadas, organizações sem fins lucrativos, universidades e desenvolvedores independentes do todo o mundo. A Linux Foundation promove, protege, e padroniza Linux, "fornecendo um conjunto abrangente de serviços para competir eficazmente com plataformas fechadas".
