BMDP is a statistical package developed in 1961 at UCLA. Based on the older BIMED program for biomedical applications, it used keyword parameters in the input instead of fixed-format cards, so the letter P was added to the letters BMD, although the name was later defined as being an abbreviation for Biomedical Package.

BMDP was originally distributed for free. It is now offered by Statistical Solutions.
