Socket 479 is a CPU socket used by some Intel microprocessors normally found in laptops.

There were two versions of Socket 479 made; the first was designed for use with Tualatin-M Celeron and Pentium III mobile processors (also known as mPGA478A), while the second and most common version was used for Celeron M and Pentium M mobile processors (also known as mPGA479M and alternatively as mPGA478C).

The official naming by Intel for Celeron M and Pentium M Socket 479 sockets is μFCPGA and μPGA479M.
