In computer science, in the field of graph theory, the Edmonds-Karp algorithm is an implementation of the Ford-Fulkerson algorithm except that the computation of the shortest augmenting path is a breadth-first search.

The Edmonds-Karp algorithm runs in O(VE2) time, where V and E is the number of vertices and edges in a graph, respectively.
