In mathematics, in algebra, in the realm of group theory, a subgroup H {\displaystyle H} of a finite group G {\displaystyle G} is said to be semipermutable if H {\displaystyle H} commutes with every subgroup K {\displaystyle K} whose order is relatively prime to that of H {\displaystyle H} .

Clearly, every permutable subgroup of a finite group is semipermutable. The converse, however, is not necessarily true.
