'''BSP''' stands for [[Binary Space Partitioning]]. 

It can also refer to the following compiled map formats, which have the {{code|.BSP}} file extension:
* {{gldsrc}} [[BSP (GoldSrc)|BSP30, used by GoldSrc.]]
** {{quake}} [[BSP (Quake)|BSP29, used by Quake]], of which GoldSrc's BSP format is based upon
** {{quake}}{{goldsrc}} [[BSP2]], a modified version of BSP29/BSP30 with expanded limits.
* {{src}} [[BSP (Source)|VBSP, used by Source 1.]]
** {{quake2}} [[BSP (Quake II)|BSP38, used by Quake II]], of which Source 1's BSP format is based upon.
** {{titanfall branch}} [[rBSP (Respawn)|rBSP, the modified version of Source 1's BSP format used by Titanfall]]
::{{modernConfusion|{{code|rBSP}} is [[Respawn Entertainment]]'s modified version of {{src|3.1|addtext='s}} BSP format, whereas {{code|RBSP}} is {{w|Raven Software|Raven Software's}} modified version of {{quake3|3.1|addtext='s}} BSP format!}}
The BSP file extension is also used by the various other {{idtech2|4}} and {{idtech3|4}} map file formats, which are not covered by the scope of this wiki.

BSP can also refer to the various map compilers used to calculate Binary Space Partitioning data:
