The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (or JBoss EAP) is a subscription-based/open-source Java EE-based application server runtime platform used for building, deploying, and hosting highly-transactional Java applications and services developed and maintained by Red Hat. The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is part of Red Hat's Enterprise Middleware portfolio of software. Because it is Java-based, the JBoss application server operates across platforms; it is usable on any operating system that supports Java. JBoss Enterprise Application Platform was originally called JBoss and was developed by the eponymous company JBoss, acquired by Red Hat in 2006.

Summer 2025, Red Hat announced that the JBoss and similar product lines and support contracts will remain at Red Hat, but the middleware development team would move to parent company IBM - and come under the same management as the WebSphere development team.

Red Hat's latest JBoss EAP version is 7, with Cumulative Patches 2 and Cumulative Patches 3 (JBoss EAP 7.2 and JBoss EAP 7.3, respectively).

JBoss itself is free and open-source, but Red Hat charges to provide a support subscription for JBoss Enterprise Middleware. Red Hat allows the use of JBoss EAP for development, but to obtain support in production a support subscription is required and customizations are not supported.
