In distributed computing, General Inter-ORB Protocol (GIOP) is the abstract protocol by which object request brokers (ORBs) communicate. Standards associated with the protocol are maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG).

IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB Protocol) is the implementation of GIOP for TCP/IP. It is a concrete implementation of the abstract GIOP definitions.
