'''Codes for electromagnetic scattering by cylinders''' – this article list codes for electromagnetic scattering by a cylinder.
Majority of existing codes for calculation of electromagnetic scattering by a single cylinder are based on Mie theory, which is an analytical solution of [[Physics:Maxwell's equations|Maxwell's equations]] in terms of infinite series.<ref name=BohrenHuffman>Bohren, Craig F.  and Donald R.
