Tuning theory is the semi-abstract study of musical tuning and musical pitch from a mathematical viewpoint, often as a basis for the mathematical study of harmony.

Tuning theory uses the tools of topology and group theory as a basis for its analysis. One of the basic concepts of tuning theory is the idea of a pitch space.
