圆锥曲线（英语：conic section），又称圆锥截痕、圆锥截面、二次平面曲线，是数学、几何学中通过平切圆锥（严格为一个正圆锥面和一个平面完整相切）得到的曲线，包括圆，椭圆，抛物线，双曲线及一些退化类型。

圆锥曲线在约公元前200年时就已被命名和研究了，其发现者为古希腊的数学家阿波罗尼奥斯，那时阿波罗尼阿斯对它们的性质已做了系统性的研究。

圆锥曲线应用最广泛的定义为（椭圆，抛物线，双曲线的统一定义）：动点到一定点（焦点）的距离与其到一定直线（准线）的距离之比为常数（离心率e）的点的集合是圆锥曲线。对于0 < e < 1得到椭圆，对于e = 1得到抛物线，对于e > 1得到双曲线。

In mathematics, a conic section (or simply conic) is a curve obtained as the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse. The circle is a special case of the ellipse, and is of sufficient interest in its own right that it was sometimes called a fourth type of conic section. The conic sections have been studied by the ancient Greek mathematicians with this work culminating around 200 BC, when Apollonius of Perga undertook a systematic study of their properties.
