SPI may refer to any of the following:

1. Short for stateful packet inspection, SPI, also known as stateful firewall, is a feature found in networking devices, like routers, that keeps track of the state of network connections. Keeping track of a connection's state allows the device to better filter unwanted or harmful network traffic.

2. Short for serial peripheral interface, SPI bus is a serial data link coined by Motorola. It is a de facto standard, used with SD cards and sensors.

3. Short for system packet interface, SPI is set of interoperability agreements that specify packet operations on Ethernet applications and optical networking.
