面向侧面的进程设计（aspect-oriented programming，AOP，又译作面向方面的进程设计、观点导向编程、剖面导向编程）是计算机科学中的一个术语，指一种进程设计范型。该范型以一种称为侧面（aspect，又译作方面）的语言构造为基础，侧面是一种新的模块化机制，用来描述分散在对象、类或函数中的横切关注点（crosscutting concern）。

侧面的概念源于对面向对象的进程设计的改进，但并不只限于此，它还可以用来改进传统的函数。与侧面相关的编程概念还包括元对象协议、主题（subject）、混入（mixin）和委托。

In computing, aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm that aims to increase modularity by allowing the separation of cross-cutting concerns. It does so by adding additional behavior to existing code (an advice) without modifying the code itself, instead separately specifying which code is modified via a "pointcut" specification, such as "log all function calls when the function's name begins with 'set'". This allows behaviors that are not central to the business logic (such as logging) to be added to a program without cluttering the code core to the functionality. AOP forms a basis for aspect-oriented software development.
