The X0 sex-determination system is a system that hymenopterans, grasshoppers, crickets, cockroaches, and some other insects use to determine the sex of their offspring.

The zero (sometimes, the letter O) signifies the lack of a second X chromosome. Maternal gametes always contain an X chromosome, so the sex of the animals' offspring is decided by the male. Its sperm normally contain either one X chromosome or no sex chromosomes at all. In a variant of this system, certain animals are hermaphroditic with two sex chromosomes (XX) and male with only one (X0). The model organism Caenorhabditis elegans a nematode frequently used in biological research is one such organism. Some Drosophila species have X0 males. These are thought to arise via the loss of the Y chromosome.
