In computer programming, a fully qualified name is an unambiguous name that specifies specifically which object, function, or variable a call refers to absolutely.

To distinguish a fully qualified name from a regular name, C++ use two colons (::), and Java uses dots (.). In Java, ActionScript (programming language used by Adobe Flash programmers), and other object-oriented languages the use of the dot is known as dot syntax. Another example is the fully qualified domain name.
