Cross-matching is series of steps in blood compatibility tests. It is testing before a blood transfusion to determine if the donor's blood is compatible with the blood of an intended recipient and also similarly in case of organ transplantation. Compatibility is determined through matching of different blood group systems, the most important of which are the ABO and Rh system, and/or by directly testing for the presence of antibodies against the antigens in a sample of donor blood or other tissue.

Simpler tests may be used to determine blood type only (known as blood typing), or to screen for antibodies only.
