涡轮喷气发动机（英文：Turbojet，简称涡喷发动机）是一种涡轮发动机。特点是完全依赖燃气流产生推力。通常用作高速飞机的动力。油耗比涡轮扇发动机高。

涡喷发动机分为离心式与轴流式两种，离心式由英国人弗兰克·惠特尔爵士于1930年取得发明专利，但是直到1941年装有这种发动机的飞机才第一次上天，没有参加第二次世界大战，轴流式诞生在德国，并且作为第一种实用的喷气式战斗机Me-262的动力参加了1944年末的战斗。

相比起离心式涡喷发动机，轴流式具有横截面小，压缩比高的优点，但是需要较高品质的材料——这在1945年左右是不存在的。当今的涡喷发动机均为轴流式。

The turbojet is an airbreathing jet engine, usually used in aircraft. It consists of a gas turbine with a propelling nozzle. The gas turbine has an air inlet, a compressor, a combustion chamber, and a turbine (that drives the compressor). The compressed air from the compressor is heated by the fuel in the combustion chamber and then allowed to expand through the turbine. The turbine exhaust is then expanded in the propelling nozzle where it is accelerated to high speed to provide thrust. Two engineers, Frank Whittle in the United Kingdom and Hans von Ohain in Germany, developed the concept independently into practical engines during the late 1930s.
