在特殊函数中，合流超几何函数（confluent hypergeometric function）定义为合流超几何方程的解。它是高斯超几何函数的极限情形，相当于超几何方程中的两个正则奇点 1 和 ∞ 合流为一个非正则奇点 ∞，因而得名。

根据所选择的参变量与宗量的不同，合流超几何函数有多种标准形式，常见的有：

In mathematics, a confluent hypergeometric function is a solution of a confluent hypergeometric equation, which is a degenerate form of a hypergeometric differential equation where two of the three regular singularities merge into an irregular singularity. (The term "confluent" refers to the merging of singular points of families of differential equations; "confluere" is Latin for "to flow together".) There are several common standard forms of confluent hypergeometric functions:
