Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) er et konsortium af institutioner og forskningsprojekter, der samarbejder om at udvikle og vedligeholde en standard for repræsentation af tekster i digital form. Det væsentligste resultat fra TEI er den semantiske katalogisering af tekst-elementer, ligeledes konform til XML markup language. Siden 1994 har disse retningslinjer i vidt omfang været brugt som standard.
