Dolphin Smalltalk, or "Dolphin" for short, is an implementation of the programming language Smalltalk for Microsoft Windows.

The Dolphin 7 version release coincided with the project becoming free and open-source software under an MIT License.^[1]

Dolphin uses an integrated development environment. The toolset of this Smalltalk dialect include an integrated refactoring browser, a package browser and a WYSIWYG "view composer". Dolphin deviates from the conventional Smalltalk framework of model–view–controller (MVC), instead using model–view–presenter (MVP).
