Metaphor Computer Systems (1982–1994) was an American computer company that created an advanced workstation, database gateway, unique graphical office interface, and software applications that "seamlessly integrate" data from both internal and external sources. The Metaphor machine was one of the first commercial workstations to offer a complete hardware/software package and a GUI, including "a wireless mouse and a wireless five-function key pad". Although the company achieved some commercial success, it never achieved the fame of either the Apple Macintosh or Microsoft Windows.

O equipamento desenvolvido pela Metaphor foi um dos primeiros a oferecer um pacote completo de hardware e software e uma interface gráfica. (pt)

Apesar de ter obtido um razoável sucesso comercial, o equipamento nunca ameaçou a fama e a popularidade do Macintosh, da Apple Inc., ou do Windows, da Microsoft. A companhia foi adquirida por um de seus maiores clientes, a IBM, em 1992. (pt)
