Macrocephaly is a condition in which circumference of the human head is abnormally large. It may be pathological or harmless, and can be a familial genetic characteristic. People diagnosed with macrocephaly will receive further medical tests to determine whether the syndrome is accompanied by particular disorders. Those with benign or familial macrocephaly are considered to have megalencephaly.

Makrozephalie (auch Makrocephalie, altgriechisch μακρός makros ‚lang, groß‘; κεφαλή kephalē ‚Kopf‘) bezeichnet eine überdurchschnittliche Größe des Schädels. Von einer Makrozephalie wird gesprochen, wenn der Kopfumfang über dem 97ten Perzentil des alters- und geschlechtsspezifischen Vergleichskollektivs liegt. Als Ursache kommen familiäre Vergrößerung des Stirnregion (Balkonstirn), Veränderungen der Schädelknochen, subdurale Flüssigkeitsansammlung (Subduralblutung, Hygrom), Hydrocephalus, Raumforderungen und Arteriovenöse Malformationen infrage. Eine Makrozephalie kann Teil eines genetischen Syndroms sein, z. B. des Cowden-Syndroms.
