पाई (π) एक गणितीय नियतांक है जिसका संख्यात्मक मान किसी वृत्त की परिधि और उसके व्यास के अनुपात के बराबर होता है। इस अनुपात के लिये π संकेत का प्रयोग सर्वप्रथम सन् १७०६ में आया। इसका मान 22/7 के बराबर होता है। यह एक अपरिमेय राशि है।

The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. The number π appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics. It is an irrational number, meaning that it cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of two integers, although fractions such as are commonly used to approximate it. Consequently, its decimal representation never ends, nor enters a permanently repeating pattern. It is a transcendental number, meaning that it cannot be a solution of an equation involving only finite sums, products, powers, and integers. The transcendence of π implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straightedge. The decimal digits of π appear to be randomly distributed, but no proof of this conjecture has been found.
