In algebraic geometry, a Segre surface, studied by Corrado Segre (1884) and Beniamino Segre (1951), is an intersection of two quadrics in 4-dimensional projective space. They are rational surfaces isomorphic to a projective plane blown up in 5 points with no 3 on a line, and are del Pezzo surfaces of degree 4, and have 16 rational lines. The term "Segre surface" is also occasionally used for various other surfaces, such as a quadric in 3-dimensional projective space, or the hypersurface

x1x2x3+x2x3x4+x3x4x5+x4x5x1+x5x1x2=0.
