地形，地貌形态（体），是地球（或是其他星球）表面（地表）各种局部的空间实体状态，亦可称为一个相对独立的地表起伏单元，比如高山、丘陵、高原、盆地等。地貌形态可以分为原生地貌形态和次生地貌形态，以其是否受到地球外动力侵蚀为划分依据。构成地貌形态，需参考包括高度、底平面形状和面积、地表倾斜方位和程度在内的三个基本指标。地貌形态是地貌学研究的基本问题。

地球的地形分为“陆地地形”和“海底地形”。地形处在漫长的演化之中，陆地和海洋互相转换。考古发现，喜马拉雅山地区有大量海洋生物化石，表明这里曾是海洋，后来由于地壳隆起抬升为高山。关于海洋与大陆的演变，有着名的大陆漂移说和板块构造说。

A landform is a natural feature of the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body. Landforms together make up a given terrain, and their arrangement in the landscape is known as topography. Typical landforms include hills, mountains, plateaus, canyons, valleys, as well as shoreline features such as bays, peninsulas, and seas, including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges, volcanoes, and the great ocean basins.
