In computing, Xming is a port of the X Window System to the Microsoft Windows operating system. The Xming X Server is based on the X.Org Server (X11R6.9), cross-compiled with MinGW and Pthreads-Win32. Xming is also available with Mesa 3D support.

Unlike the Cygwin/X port, Xming does not have a runtime dependency on Cygwin.

Xming may be used with implementations of SSH to securely forward X11 sessions from Unix machines. It supports PuTTY and ssh.exe, and comes with a version of PuTTY's plink.exe.
