Lynx is a programming language for large distributed networks, using remote procedure calls. It was developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1984 for the Charlotte multicomputer operating system.

In 1986 at the University of Rochester Lynx was ported to the Chrysalis operating system running on a BBN Butterfly multiprocessor.
