Versus, often abbreviated as "v.", "vs" or "vs.", may refer to:

  • situations where two parties are opposed to each other in some way, for example at a sporting event. One party is said to be versus another. Versus in this context is synonymous with "against".
  • In mash-ups, a genre of music remixes where two songs are mixed together, the two artists are often said to be 'vs' (e.g. Eminem vs Britney Spears)
  • legal court cases, allowing court cases to be referred to as one party versus or v. another (the abbreviation vs. is seldom used in legal contexts), for example: "Smith v. Jones." See Glossary of legal terms.
  • scientific graph or line charts of two real world variables. The graph is said to plot one variable "versus", or against, another.
