FileMan is a set of utilities written using MUMPS, which provide a meta-data function for MUMPS applications. The FileMan utilities allow the definition of data structures, menus and security, reports, and forms, allowing someone to set up applications without tremendous experience in the MUMPS programming language.

Its first use was in the development of medical applications for the Vetrans' Administration, making the source code somewhat publically available. Because of this, it has been used for rapid development of applications across a number of organizations, including commercial products.
