Nomenclature codes or codes of nomenclature are the various rulebooks that govern biological taxonomic nomenclature, each in their own broad field of organisms. To an end-user who only deals with names of species, with some awareness that species are assignable to families, it may not be noticeable that there is more than one code, but beyond this basic level these are rather different in the way they work.
The successful introduction of two-part names for species by Linnaeus was the start for an ever-expanding system of nomenclature. With all naturalists worldwide adopting this approach to thinking up names, there arose several schools of thought about the details. It became ever more apparent that a detailed body of rules was necessary to govern scientific names. From the mid-19th century onwards, there were several initiatives to arrive at worldwide-accepted sets of rules. Presently nomenclature codes govern the naming of:
Algae, Fungi and Plants – International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), which in July 2011 replaced the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) and the earlier International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature.
Animals – International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN)
Bacteria and Archaea – International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP), which in 2008 replaced the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (ICNB)
Bacteria and Archaea described from sequence data – Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes Described from Sequence Data (SeqCode)
Cultivated plants – International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP)
Plant associations – International Code of Phytosociological Nomenclature (ICPN)
Viruses – The International Code of Virus Classification and Nomenclature (ICVCN); see also virus classification
The starting point, that is the time from which these codes are in effect (usually retroactively), varies from group to group, and sometimes from rank to rank.

vignette|La présence de sporophores en console du Polypore amadouvier sur le volis et la chandelle d'un hêtre montre que ce dernier a été attaqué par ce champignon nécrotrophe lignicole à l'origine de la pourriture blanche qui creuse le cœur de l'arbre qu'il parasite en le faisant mourir d'épuisement. La poursuite du développement de ce macromycète sur le volis entraîne une modification rapide de l'orientation de la « fructification » en croissance, afin de pouvoir projeter les spores fongiques dans les conditions optimales.
Une nomenclature est un système de classification (code, tableau, liste, règles d'attribution d'identité...) servant de référence dans le cadre d'une activité professionnelle, industrielle ou d'une discipline donnée (exemples : en chimie, en botanique, en zoologie, en astronomie). La nomenclature est un élément-clé de toute taxonomie. Le mot et l'idée viennent directement du latin nomenclatura. Primitivement, le nomenclator désigne l'esclave qui clame les noms des plats d'un dîner ou annonce les personnes à leur arrivée en un lieu.
