Atrium (latin, förmodligen av ater, ”svart”, alltså ”det av rök nedsvärtade rummet”) var under antiken det centrala rummet i romarnas bostadshus, . Det var omgivet av mindre rum, hade en taköppning i mitten (compluvium) och under detta en nedsänkt bassäng (impluvium). En spansk variant av atrium kallas patio.
