复循环（Combined cycle），又称复合循环或者联合循环，是一种使用多种热力学循环串联来获得更高热效率的方式，将其转换成机械能。比如在发电时，前一级产生的废气被用来驱动下一级热机推动发电机，提高了燃料的效率。

在一般的热力发电厂中，较常见的联合循环式一级布雷顿循环后加一级郎肯循环。

联合循环的实现使得燃气发电的热机效率由34%大幅提高到超过51%，即是使用相同燃料的情况下，增加近一半发电量。香港南丫发电厂在2002年把两台125兆瓦燃气轮机被改装为一台联合循环机组，能够生产多115兆瓦电力，即总共345兆瓦。

In electric power generation a combined cycle is an assembly of heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat, converting it into mechanical energy, which in turn usually drives electrical generators. The principle is that after completing its cycle (in the first engine), the working fluid of the first heat engine is still low enough in its entropy that a second subsequent heat engine may extract energy from the waste heat (energy) of the working fluid of the first engine. By combining these multiple streams of work upon a single mechanical shaft turning an electric generator, the overall net efficiency of the system may be increased by 50 – 60 percent. That is, from an overall efficiency of say 34% (in a single cycle) to possibly an overall efficiency of 51% (in a mechanical combination of two cycles) in net Carnot thermodynamic efficiency. This can be done because heat engines are only able to use a portion of the energy their fuel generates (usually less than 50%). In an ordinary (non combined cycle) heat engine the remaining heat (e.g., hot exhaust fumes) from combustion is generally wasted.
