网络控制消息协定（英文：Internet Control Message Protocol，ICMP）是网路协议族的核心协议之一。它用于TCP/IP网络中发送控制消息，提供可能发生在通信环境中的各种问题反馈，通过这些信息，令管理者可以对所发生的问题作出诊断，然后采取适当的措施解决。

ICMP 依靠IP来完成它的任务，它是IP的主要部分。它与传输协议，如TCP和UDP显著不同：它一般不用于在两点间传输数据。它通常不由网络进程直接使用，除了ping和traceroute这两个特别的例子。 IPv4中的ICMP被称作ICMPv4，IPv6中的ICMP则被称作ICMPv6。

The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is one of the main protocols of the internet protocol suite. It is used by network devices, like routers, to send error messages indicating, for example, that a requested service is not available or that a host or router could not be reached. ICMP can also be used to relay query messages. It is assigned protocol number 1. ICMP differs from transport protocols such as TCP and UDP in that it is not typically used to exchange data between systems, nor is it regularly employed by end-user network applications (with the exception of some diagnostic tools like ping and traceroute).
