脂肪肝是脂肪性肝病（英語：fatty liver disease，FLD）的简称，又叫肝脂肪变性（hepatic steatosis，HS）、肝积脂病或肝性肥胖症，是肝脏中积聚过多脂肪的状态，以含甘油三酸酯的巨液胞形式积累在肝细胞中，而造成。虽然有不同原因，但一般认为脂肪肝在全世界范围内都是发生在酗酒（即酒精性脂肪肝，简称酒精肝）和肥胖（不管有没有胰島素抗性；属于非酒精性脂肪肝）人群的单一疾病；脂肪肝还与其他影响脂肪代谢的疾病相关。 非酒精性脂肪性肝病（NAFLD）分为非酒精性脂肪肝（NAFL）和非酒精性脂肪性肝炎（NASH），前者定义为存在 ≥ 5%的肝脂肪变性，但没有气球样变的肝细胞损伤证据，后者定义为存在 ≥ 5%的肝脂肪变性，且伴有肝细胞损伤的炎症（例如气球样变），可併发或不併发纤维化。 从形态上很难分辨酒精性脂肪肝和非酒精性脂肪肝，它们都在不同阶段显示微囊泡和巨囊泡脂肪改变。轻度的脂肪肝通常可逆。
