固定码率（英语：Constant bitrate，简称CBR）这是一个用来形容通信服务质量（QoS，Quality of Service）的术语。和该词相对应的词是可变码率或可变比特率（英文variable bit rate，缩写VBR）。

当形容编解码器的时候，CBR编码指的是编码器的输出码率（或者解码器的输入码率）应该是固定值（常数）。当在一个带宽受限的信道中进行多媒体通讯的时候CBR是非常有用的，因为这时候受限的是最高码率，CBR可以更容易的使用这样的信道。但是CBR不适合进行存储，因为CBR将导致没有足够的码率对复杂的内容部分进行编码（从而导致质量下降），同时在简单的内容部分会浪费一些码率。

Constant bitrate (CBR) is a term used in telecommunications, relating to the quality of service. Compare with variable bitrate.

When referring to codecs, constant bit rate encoding means that the rate at which a codec's output data should be consumed is constant. CBR is useful for streaming multimedia content on limited capacity channels since it is the maximum bit rate that matters, not the average, so CBR would be used to take advantage of all of the capacity. CBR would not be the optimal choice for storage as it would not allocate enough data for complex sections (resulting in degraded quality) while wasting data on simple sections.
