Microsoft Office FrontPage is a WYSIWYG HTML editor and web site administration tool from Microsoft for the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems. It was branded as part of the Microsoft Office suite from 1997 to 2003. A Macintosh version was also released in 1998; however, it had fewer features than the Windows product and Microsoft did not update it.

FrontPage was initially created by the Cambridge, Massachusetts company Vermeer Technologies Incorporated, evidence of which can be easily spotted in filenames and directories prefixed _vti_ in web sites created using FrontPage. Vermeer was acquired by Microsoft in 1996 specifically so that Microsoft could add FrontPage to its product line-up.

After nine years of being an award-winning Web authoring tool, Microsoft Office FrontPage was discontinued in late 2006 and replaced by Office SharePoint Designer for the enterprise information workers and Expression Web for the professional Web designer.
