Una tabla de verdad, o tabla de valores de verdad, es una tabla que muestra el valor de verdad de una proposición compuesta, para cada combinación de verdad que se pueda asignar. Fue desarrollada por Charles Sanders Peirce por los años 1880, pero el formato más popular es el que introdujo Ludwig Wittgenstein en su Tractatus logico-philosophicus, publicado en 1921.

A truth table is a mathematical table used in logic—specifically in connection with Boolean algebra, boolean functions, and propositional calculus—which sets out the functional values of logical expressions on each of their functional arguments, that is, for each combination of values taken by their logical variables (Enderton, 2001). In particular, truth tables can be used to show whether a propositional expression is true for all legitimate input values, that is, logically valid. A truth table has one column for each input variable (for example, A and B), and one final column showing all of the possible results of the logical operation that the table represents (for example, A XOR B). Each row of the truth table contains one possible configuration of the input variables (for instance, A=true B=false), and the result of the operation for those values. See the examples below for further clarification. Ludwig Wittgenstein is often credited with inventing the truth table in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, though it appeared at least a year earlier in a paper on propositional logic by Emil Leon Post.
