星系团（Galaxy clusters、Cluster of galaxies）是由星系组成的自引力束缚体系，通常尺度在数百万秒差距，包含了数百到数千个星系。包含了少量星系的星系团叫做星系群。银河系所在的星系群叫做本星系群，成员星系大约为50个。距离本星系群较近的一个星系团是室女座星系团，包含了超过2500个星系。

许多星系团是明亮的X射线源，其中X射线辐射是由强引力势阱束缚住的高温气体发出的。星系团的气体质量可达发光星系总质量的3-5倍。研究星系团中物质的分布能够为暗物质的存在提供证据。

不同星系团中，各种类型的星系所占的比例很不一样。研究发现，椭圆星系的比例与星系团的形态密切相关，如果一个星系团中椭圆星系所占的比例很大，那幺这个星系团的形状倾向于规则和对称，如果椭圆星系所占的比例很小，星系团一般显示出不规则的形状。

A galaxy cluster or cluster of galaxies is a structure that consists of anywhere from hundreds to thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity with typical masses ranging from 10–10 solar masses. They are the largest known gravitationally bound structures in the universe and were believed to be the largest known structures in the universe until the 1980s when superclusters were discovered. One of the key features of clusters is the intracluster medium (ICM). The ICM consists of heated gas between the galaxies and has a peak temperature between 2–15 keV that is dependent on the total mass of the cluster. Galaxy clusters should not be confused with star clusters such as open clusters, which are structures of stars within galaxies, as well as globular clusters, which typically orbit galaxies. Small aggregates of galaxies are referred to as groups of galaxies rather than clusters of galaxies. The groups and clusters can themselves cluster together to form superclusters.
