腦積水（hydrocephalus、拉丁語：hydrocephalus，希臘語：υδροκεφαλία，又稱水腦症，是一種發生於腦部，於腦內積聚腦脊液（CSF）的病症，指循環於蜘蛛網膜下腔包圍著腦部與脊髓的腦脊液異常增加或積聚，導致顱內壓異常增加的情形。較年長的病患可能產生頭痛、複視、平衡感喪失、尿失禁、性格改變或智能障礙等症狀。在嬰兒患者中可見到頭部的尺寸迅速增大。其他症狀可能包含嘔吐、嗜睡、癲癇發作和眼睛視線向下。在嚴重情況下，過度積聚的腦脊液可能壓迫腦部使穿越的延髓受損，導致死亡。 腦積水的成因包括先天性障礙及後天形成。先天缺陷相關的病徵包含及其他導致之肇因。其他如腦膜炎、腦腫瘤、創傷性腦損傷、和蛛網膜下腔出血。腦積水的四種分類為：交通型腦積水、阻塞型腦積水、萎縮型腦積水和。常透過檢驗與醫學影像來進行診斷。 通常治療此症的方式是透過手術置入，依病情，少數患者亦可考慮接受一種名為的引流手術。但是手術也可能帶來過度引流、引流不足、失能、感染或栓塞等後遺症，此時需考慮再次手術置換引流裝置。手術的結果因人而異，不過許多與引流裝置一同生活的患者都能擁有正常的生活；惟若不加以治療，患者或許會因此喪生。 在美國，新生兒罹患此症的機率約在千分之一至千分之二之間；開發中國家的罹病率可能更高。據估計，之罹病率約為每10萬人中有5人，此比例亦隨年齡增長而提升。關於此症的描述，最早可追溯到2千多年前，由古希臘醫生希波克拉底留下的相關記錄。「hydrocephalus」這個字是將希臘語「hydro-」與「kephalos」2個詞組合得來，前者的詞義為「水」，後者為「頭」。
