In computer science, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructs are features of a programming language, which perform different computations or actions depending on whether a programmer-specified boolean condition evaluates to true or false. Apart from the case of branch predication, this is always achieved by selectively altering the control flow based on some condition.
In imperative programming languages, the term “conditional statement” is usually used, whereas in functional programming, the terms “conditional expression” or “conditional construct” are preferred, because these terms all have distinct meanings.

A conditional statement may refer to:
- A conditional formula in logic and mathematics, which can be interpreted as:
- Material conditional
- Strict conditional
- Variably strict conditional
- Relevance conditional
- A conditional sentence in natural language, including:
- Indicative conditional
- Counterfactual conditional
- Biscuit conditional
- Conditional (computer programming), a conditional statement in a computer programming language
- A conditional formula in logic and mathematics, which can be interpreted as:

In computer science, conditionals (that is, conditional statements, conditional expressions and conditional constructs) are programming language constructs that perform different computations or actions or return different values depending on the value of a Boolean expression, called a condition.
Conditionals are typically implemented by selectively executing instructions. Although dynamic dispatch is not usually classified as a conditional construct, it is another way to select between alternatives at runtime.
