UnxUtils is a collection of utility programs that provide popular Unix-based shell commands {{endash}} ported from GNU implementations as native Windows programs that depend only on Win32 and the Microsoft C-runtime (msvcrt.dll). The collection was last updated externally on April 15, 2003, by Karl M. Syring. {{As of|2016|12|lc=n}}, the most recent release was an open-source project at SourceForge, with the latest binary release in March, 2007 (though the files are dated 2000). The independent distribution included a main zip archive (UnxUtils.zip, 3,365,638 bytes) complemented by more recent updates (UnxUpdates.zip, 878,847 bytes, brought some binaries up to year 2003), but the SourceForge project has no UnxUpdates.zip package.

An alternative collection of Unix-based utilities for Windows is GnuWin32. It has later versions of many programs, but requires supporting files (e.g. DLLs).{{Cite web |title=Difference between UnxUtils and GNU CoreUtils |url=https://serverfault.com/questions/164376/difference-between-unxutils-and-gnu-coreutils |access-date=2024-08-09 |website=Server Fault |language=en}}
