Clascal was the first working prototype of Object Pascal. Developed in 1983 by the Personal Office Systems (POS) division (later renamed The Lisa Division, still later The 32-Bit Systems Division) of Apple Computer, it was the first truly object-oriented version of Pascal.

Clascal was an extension of Lisa Pascal and strongly inspired by Xerox PARC's release of Smalltalk-80 and also by the Modula language. It laid in turn the foundation for the development of Apple's Object Pascal, later referred to as Mac Pascal.
