Replicator may refer to:

• A replicator is any pattern that produces an arbitrary number of copies of itself.
• A Quadratic replicator is a special subset of replicator that fills all or part of the plane by making copies of itself in a non-linear way.
• Replicator, a Life-like cellular automaton where every pattern produces an arbitrary number of copies of itself.
• HighLife's replicator, likely the most well known replicator first discovered in HighLife though it works in other rules.
• Logarithmic replicator rule, a Life-like cellular automaton in which cells survive from one generation to the next if they have 2, 4, or 5 neighbours and are born if they have 3 or 6 neighbours.
