集合名词（英语：collective noun或者nouns of assemblage）是语言学上的一个专有名词，意指一种可用来指称一群对象的词，而这些对象，可以是人、动物、或是一类概念等事物。举例来说，在英语中，“一群狮子”可称为 a pride of lions，这里的pride 就是一个集合名词。下面就给大家介绍一些常见的集合名词的用法。
一堆星星：a cluster of stars
一行阶梯：a flight of steps
一捆箭：a sheaf of arrows
一副扑克：a pack of cards / a batch of cards
一队汽车：a fleet of cars
一列车队或船队：a fleet of cars / a fleet of ships

需要注意的一点是，并不是所有的事物都有相应的collective noun。例如十支笔，英语里就没有“支”的说法，只说ten pens。又例如十本书，英语里没有“本”，只是ten books，而两所学校也只是two schools。
