轻型目录访问协定（英文：Lightweight Directory Access Protocol，缩写：LDAP，英语发音：/ˈɛldæp/）是一个开放的，中立的，工业标准的应用协议，通过IP协议提供访问控制和维护分布式信息的目录信息。

目录服务在开发内部网和与互联网进程共享用户、系统、网络、服务和应用的过程中占据了重要地位。例如，目录服务可能提供了组织有序的记录集合，通常有层级结构，例如公司电子邮件目录。同理，也可以提供包含了地址和电话号码的电话簿。

LDAP由互联网工程任务组（IETF）的文档RFC定义，使用了描述语言ASN.1定义。最新的版本是版本3，由RFC 4511所定义。例如，一个用语言描述的LDAP的搜索如：“在公司邮件目录中搜索公司位于那什维尔名字中含有“Jessy”的有邮件地址的所有人。请返回他们的全名，电子邮件，头衔和简述。”

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP; /ˈɛldæp/) is an open, vendor-neutral, industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Directory services play an important role in developing intranet and Internet applications by allowing the sharing of information about users, systems, networks, services, and applications throughout the network. As examples, directory services may provide any organized set of records, often with a hierarchical structure, such as a corporate email directory. Similarly, a telephone directory is a list of subscribers with an address and a phone number.
