A condyle (Template:IPAc-en;^[1]^[2] Template:Langx, from Template:Langx; κόνδυλος knuckle) is the round prominence at the end of a bone, most often part of a joint – an articulation with another bone. It is one of the markings or features of bones, and can refer to:

On the femur, in the knee joint:
- Medial condyle
- Lateral condyle
On the tibia, in the knee joint:
- Medial condyle
- Lateral condyle
On the humerus, in the elbow joint:
- Condyle of humerus (Condylus humeri)
On the mandible, in the temporomandibular joint:
- Mandibular condyle
On the occipital bone, in the atlanto-occipital joint:
- Occipital condyles

Although not generally termed condyles, the trochlea and capitulum of the humerus act as condyles in the elbow, and the femur head acts as a condyle in the hip joint.

Condyle may also be used to describe an intrusion of the endocarp into the seed cavity of flowering plants like Abuta.
