False. All stereospecific reactions are stereoselective, but not all stereoselective reactions are stereospecific. Stereospecific reactions are those that produce a specific stereoisomer or a mixture of stereoisomers, while stereoselective reactions are those that produce a mixture of stereoisomers, but with a preference for one stereoisomer over the other.
