桶排序（Bucket sort）或所谓的箱排序，是一个排序算法，工作的原理是将数组分到有限数量的桶子里。每个桶子再个别排序（有可能再使用别的排序算法或是以递归方式继续使用桶排序进行排序）。桶排序是鸽巢排序的一种归纳结果。当要被排序的数组内的数值是均匀分配的时候，桶排序使用线性时间（Θ(n)）。但桶排序并不是比较排序，他不受到O(n log n)下限的影响。

桶排序以下列进程进行：

Bucket sort, or bin sort, is a sorting algorithm that works by distributing the elements of an array into a number of buckets. Each bucket is then sorted individually, either using a different sorting algorithm, or by recursively applying the bucket sorting algorithm. It is a distribution sort, and is a cousin of radix sort in the most to least significant digit flavour. Bucket sort is a generalization of pigeonhole sort. Bucket sort can be implemented with comparisons and therefore can also be considered a comparison sort algorithm. The computational complexity estimates involve the number of buckets.
