Broccoli (Brassica oleracea convar. botrytis var. italica) is een groente die verwant is aan bloemkool. Van broccoli worden de nog gesloten bloemknoppen gegeten (in sommige streken in Italië echter ook de bladeren), van bloemkool zijn dat de aanlegsels van de bloemknoppen (bloemknopprimordia). Van de groenten bevat broccoli de meeste glucosinolaten.Het woord broccoli is het meervoud van het Italiaanse woord 'broccolo'. Broccolo betekent "de bloeiende top van een kool".
