Advanced Placement English Language and Composition (commonly abbreviated to AP Lang or AP Comp) is a course and examination offered by the College Board as part of the Advanced Placement Program. When AP exams were first implemented English Language and English Literature were initially combined. They separated in 1980.

AP English Language and Composition is a course in the study of rhetoric taken in high school. Many schools offer this course primarily to juniors and the AP English Literature and Composition course to seniors. Other schools reverse the order and some offer both courses to both juniors and seniors. The College Board advises that students choosing AP English Language and Composition be interested in studying and writing various kinds of analytic or persuasive essays on non-fiction topics while students choosing AP English Literature and Composition be interested in studying literature of various periods and genres (fiction poetry drama) and using this wide reading knowledge in discussions of literary topics.
