**Decomposition method** is a generic term for solutions of various problems and design of algorithms in which the basic idea is to decompose the problem into subproblems. The term may specifically refer to:

- [Decomposition method (constraint satisfaction)](/source/Decomposition_method_(constraint_satisfaction)) in constraint satisfaction
- [Decomposition method (multidisciplinary design optimization)](/source/Decomposition_method_(multidisciplinary_design_optimization)) in multidisciplinary design optimization
- [Decomposition method (queueing theory)](/source/Decomposition_method_(queueing_theory)), in queueing network analysis
- [Adomian decomposition method](/source/Adomian_decomposition_method), a non-numerical method for solving nonlinear differential equations
- [Domain decomposition methods](/source/Domain_decomposition_methods) in mathematics, numerical analysis, and numerical partial differential equations
- [Cholesky decomposition method](/source/Cholesky_decomposition_method)
