信用衍生工具（Credit derivative），或称信用衍生物与信用衍生性金融商品，是一种金融衍生工具。其意指买卖双方，一方利用缴付权利金，将信用风险转让给另一方。其金融风险的前后价差是后者所获利的金额。

In finance, a credit derivative refers to any one of "various instruments and techniques designed to separate and then transfer the credit risk" or the risk of an event of default of a corporate or sovereign borrower, transferring it to an entity other than the lender or debtholder.
