4dwm is a window manager that is normally used on Silicon Graphics workstations running IRIX. 4dwm is derived from the older mwm window manager and uses the Motif widget toolkit on top of the X Window System found on most Unix systems.

4dwm was one of the first default graphical user interface desktops to be standard on a particular Unix computer system. Other X window managers that mimic the 4dwm look and feel include ../5dwm/.
