NI Multisim (formerly MultiSIM) is an electronic schematic capture and simulation program which is part of a suite of circuit design programs,{{Cite web |title=Introduction to Multisim: Learn to Capture, Simulate, and Layout in Less Than 30 Minutes - NI |url=https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA03q000000YH7MCAW&l=en-US |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=knowledge.ni.com}} along with NI Ultiboard. Multisim is one of the few circuit design programs to employ the original Berkeley SPICE based software simulation.{{Cite web |title=What is Multisim™? |url=https://www.ni.com/en/shop/electronic-test-instrumentation/application-software-for-electronic-test-and-instrumentation-category/what-is-multisim.html |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=www.ni.com |language=en}} Multisim was originally created by a company named Electronics Workbench Group, which is now a division of National Instruments. Multisim includes microcontroller simulation (formerly known as MultiMCU),{{Cite book |last=National Instruments |title=ElectronicsWorkbench MultiMCU Microcontroller Co-simulation User Guide |date=February 2006 |publisher=National Instruments |year=2006 |location=Texas, US |language=en}} as well as integrated import and export features to the printed circuit board layout software in the suite, NI Ultiboard.{{Cite journal |last=Lewis-Evans |first=Ben |date=2018-03-22 |title=A short guide to user testing for simulation sickness in Virtual Reality |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198794844.003.0030 |journal=Oxford Scholarship Online |doi=10.1093/oso/9780198794844.003.0030}}

Multisim is widely used in academia and industry for circuits education, electronic schematic design and SPICE simulation.{{Cite web |title=L-3 - Manuales de prácticas |url=https://sites.google.com/aragon.unam.mx/laboratorio-l3/recursos/manuales-de-pr%C3%A1cticas |access-date=2024-07-22 |website=sites.google.com |language=en-US}}
