聚碳酸酯（英语：Polycarbonate, PC）是一种无色透明的无定性热塑性材料。其名称来源于其内部的CO₃基团。

聚碳酸酯，耐酸、耐油，但不耐紫外线，不耐强碱。

聚碳酸酯无色透明，耐热，抗冲击，阻燃，在普通使用温度内都有良好的机械性能。和性能接近的聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯相比，聚碳酸酯的耐冲击性能好，折射率高，加工性能好，不需要添加剂就具有UL94 V-0级阻燃性能。但是，聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯的价格较低，并可通过本体聚合的方法生产大型的器件。目前随着聚碳酸酯生产规模的日益扩大，聚碳酸酯同聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯之间的价格差异在日益缩小。

Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades are optically transparent. They are easily worked, molded, and thermoformed. Because of these properties, polycarbonates find many applications. Polycarbonates do not have a unique Resin identification code (RIC) and are identified as "Other", 7 on the RIC. Products made from polycarbonate can contain the precursor monomer bisphenol A (BPA). Polycarbonate is also known by a variety of trademarked names, including Lexan, Makrolon, and others.
