An '''error-correcting code''' (often given as '''ECC''') refers to a coding system, usually a [[cyclic redundancy check]], which allows errors in data (stored in either [[main memory]] or [[secondary storage]]) to be automatically detected and repaired.

ECCs are usually only used with ''stored'' data, not data in a communication system, since modern networking is designed around the idea of re-sending lost or damaged data (since that simplifies the design of the network).
