Mork is a computer file format used by several email clients and web browsers produced by Netscape and Mozilla Foundation. It was developed by David McCusker[1] with the aim of creating a minimal database replacement that would be reliable, flexible, and efficient, and use a file format close to plain text.[2]

The format was named after the character Mork from the TV show Mork & Mindy.[1]
