The File Allocation Table. The FAT is an array-based linked list with one entry for each data cluster on the device. Each entry either points to the next cluster of a file or contains a special value. FAT12 has 12-bit entries, FAT16 has 16-bit entries, and FAT32 has 32-bit entries. 

FAT can also refer to the FAT file system itself.
