天体目录或星表是将天体依照它们的类型、型态、来源、检测的手段或发现的方法组合在一起的列表，通常是某种巡天调查的结果。

An astronomical catalog or catalogue is a list or tabulation of astronomical objects, typically grouped together because they share a common type, morphology, origin, means of detection, or method of discovery. Astronomical catalogs are usually the result of an astronomical survey of some kind.
