卷积定理指出，函数卷积的傅里叶变换是函数傅里叶变换的乘积。即一个域中的卷积对应于另一个域中的乘积，例如时域中的卷积对应于频域中的乘积。

其中表示f 的傅里叶变换。下面这种形式也成立：

借由傅里叶逆变换，也可以写成

注意以上的写法只对特定形式定义的变换正确，变换可能由其它方式正规化，使得上面的关系式中出现其它的常数因子。

这一定理对拉普拉斯变换、双边拉普拉斯变换、Z变换、Mellin变换和Hartley变换（参见Mellin inversion theorem）等各种傅里叶变换的变体同样成立。在调和分析中还可以推广到在局部紧致的阿贝尔群上定义的傅里叶变换。

In mathematics, the convolution theorem states that under suitable conditions the Fourier transform of a convolution is the pointwise product of Fourier transforms. In other words, convolution in one domain (e.g., time domain) equals point-wise multiplication in the other domain (e.g., frequency domain). Versions of the convolution theorem are true for various Fourier-related transforms. Let and be two functions with convolution . (Note that the asterisk denotes convolution in this context, and not multiplication. The tensor product symbol is sometimes used instead.) Let denote the Fourier transform operator, so and are the Fourier transforms of and , respectively. Then
