SCI, which Sierra referred to as both the "'''S'''ript '''C'''ode '''I'''nterpreter" and later "'''S'''ierra's '''C'''reative '''I'''nterpreter", is a p-machine style virtual machine for executing platform-independant, object-oriented code.

SCI was designed for 16-bit little-endian computers, although there were later attempts to create 32-bit versions, LSCI and SCI3. SCI was exclusively used by Sierra On-Line, Inc., to run its computer game series, with titles like Leisure Suit Larry 2-7, Space Quest 3-6, King's Quest 4-7, Quest for Glory 1-4, and several others.
