In computing, Lhasa (pronounced "Ra-sa" in Japanese) is a Japanese computer program that decompress a compressed file in LHA and other formats (including ZIP).

It is also the name of a computer program developed in the research group of Elias James Corey at the Harvard University Department of Chemistry which uses artifical_intelligence techniques to discover sequences of reactions which may be used to synthesize a compound. LHASA in this case is an acronym for Logic and Heuristics Applied to Synthetic Analysis. This program was one of the first to use a graphical interface to input and display chemical structures.
