Die Kurpfalz (auch Pfalz, kurfürstliche Pfalz, Kurfürstentum Pfalz, kurfürstliche Pfalzgrafschaft bei Rhein oder kurfürstlich rheinische Pfalzgrafschaft) war ein Kurfürstentum des Heiligen Römischen Reichs, das sich seit 1214 im Besitz der Wittelsbacher befand. Kurfürst Karl Theodor (Kurfürst von 1742 bis 1799) trat nach dem Aussterben der bayerischen Wittelsbacher im Jahr 1777 das Erbe als Herzog und Kurfürst von Bayern an. Damit entstand ein wittelsbachischer Gesamtstaat Kurpfalz-Bayern.
