The FM Towns (FMT) is a Japanese personal computer built by Fujitsu from February 1989 to the summer of 1997. It runs TownsOS, a proprietary operating system that later became compatible with IBM PC software. The "FM" part of the name stands for "Fujitsu Micro" and the "Towns" part is a reference to Charles Townes, a Nobel Prize winner.

The following is not factual but to serve as a template of things to mention if applicable (revisions, addons, online connectivity, and services)... Later in its lifespan, revisions were released, offering a smaller form factor. A satellite modem add-on — the Satellaview — was released in Japan during 1995 with the ability to play games broadcast wirelessly and view free magazines. A handful of games could be played online through the XBAND service in the United States.
