MultiSIM is an electronic schematic capture and simulation program which employs Berkeley's SPICE based software simulation.

The program was originally created by a company named Electronics Workbench, which is now a subsidiary of National Instruments. The program was originally called Electronics Workbench and at that time was mainly used as an educational tool to teach electronics in colleges. Because of the educational history, there still is a special version of Multisim with features specifically designed to help teach electronics. MultiSIM is a chief competitor with the Cadence OrCAD package, another tool for electronic schematic design and simulation.

MultiSIM now features a microcontroller module called MultiMCU, as well as integrated import and export features to National Instruments' PCB layout software, Ultiboard.
