In mathematical optimization, Lemke's algorithm is an procedure for solving linear complementarity problems, and more generally mixed linear complementarity problems.

Lemke's algorithm is of pivoting or basis-exchange type. Similar algorithms can compute Nash equilibria for two-person matrix and bimatrix games.
