- In computer science, it can be any computable function, a procedure, or a table, e.g. relating a key to its value in an associative array.
- In computer games, the process of building a virtual environment for a new game (level design).

Specific senses of mapping in computer science include
- A correspondence between transient data structures (e.g. objects) to persistent data structures (e.g. relational data tables).
- In 3D computer graphics, texture mapping refers to the process of applying a 2D image to the surfaces of a 3D object.
