YUSCII is an informal name for several JUS standards for 7-bit character encoding. These include: JUS I.B1.002 (ISO-IR-141, ISO 646-YU), which encodes Gaj's Latin alphabet, used for Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian language JUS I.B1.003 (ISO-IR-146), which encodes Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, and JUS I.B1.004 (ISO-IR-147), which encodes Macedonian Cyrillic alphabet.

The encodings are based on ISO 646, a 7-bit Latin alphabet character encoding standard, and were used in Yugoslavia before widespread use of the later CP 852, ISO-8859-2/8859-5, Windows-1250/1251 and Unicode standards. It was named after ASCII, having the first word "American" replaced with "Yugoslav": "Yugoslav Standard Code for Information Interchange". Specific standards are also sometimes called by a local name: SLOSCII, CROSCII or SRPSCII for JUS I.B1.002, SRPSCII for JUS I.B1.003, MAKSCII for JUS I.B1.004.
