在控制理论和稳定性理论中，奈奎斯特稳定判据（英语：Nyquist stability criterion）贝尔实验室的瑞典裔美国电气工程师哈里·奈奎斯特于1932年发现， 用于确定动态系统稳定性的一种图形方法。由于它只需检查对应开环系统的奈奎斯特图，可以不必准确计算闭环或开环系统的零极点就可以使运用（虽然必须已知右半平面每一种类型的奇点的数目）。因此，他可以用在由无理函数定义的系统，如时滞系统。与波德图相比，它可以处理右半平面有奇点的传递函数。此外，还可以很自然地推广到具有多个输入和多个输出的复杂系统，如飞机的控制系统。

In control theory and stability theory, the Nyquist stability criterion, discovered by Swedish-American electrical engineer Harry Nyquist at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932, is a graphical technique for determining the stability of a dynamical system. Because it only looks at the Nyquist plot of the open loop systems, it can be applied without explicitly computing the poles and zeros of either the closed-loop or open-loop system (although the number of each type of right-half-plane singularities must be known). As a result, it can be applied to systems defined by non-rational functions, such as systems with delays. In contrast to Bode plots, it can handle transfer functions with right half-plane singularities. In addition, there is a natural generalization to more complex systems with multiple inputs and multiple outputs, such as control systems for airplanes.
