In mathematics and physics, vector can refer to:
Euclidean vector, a geometric entity endowed with both length and direction; an element of a Euclidean vector space. In physics, euclidean vectors are used to represent physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction, such as force, in contrast to scalar quantities, which have no direction.
Vector product, or cross product, an operation on two vectors in a three-dimensional Euclidean space, producing a third three-dimensional Euclidean vector
Vector projection, also known as the vector resolute, a mapping of one vector onto another

The vector part of a quaternion, a term used in 19th century mathematical literature on quaternions
Burgers vector, a vector that represents the magnitude and direction of the lattice distortion of dislocation in a crystal lattice
Displacement vector, a vector that specifies the change in position of a point relative to a previous position
Gradient vector, one vector in a vector field
Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector, a vector used chiefly to describe the shape and orientation of the orbit of one astronomical body around another
Normal vector, or surface normal, a vector which is perpendicular to a surface
Null vector, or zero vector, a vector whose components are all zero
Orbital state vectors, which define the state of an orbiting body
Position (vector), a vector which represents the position of an object in space in relation to an arbitrary reference point
Poynting vector, in physics, a vector representing the energy flux of an electromagnetic field
Tangent vector (disambiguation), a vector that follows the direction of a curve or a surface at a given point
Wave vector, a vector representation of a wave
Gyrovector, a hyperbolic geometry version of a vector
Axial vector, or pseudovector, a quantity that transforms like a vector under a proper rotation
Basis vector, one of a set of vectors (a "basis") that, in linear combination, can represent every vector in a given vector space
Coordinate vector, in linear algebra, an explicit representation of an element of any abstract vector space
Darboux vector, the areal velocity vector of the Frenet frame of a space curve
Four-vector, in the theory of relativity, a vector in a four-dimensional real vector space called Minkowski space
Interval vector, in musical set theory, an array that expresses the intervallic content of a pitch-class set
P-vector, the tensor obtained by taking linear combinations of the wedge product of p tangent vectors
Probability vector, in statistics, a vector with non-negative entries that add up to one
Row vector or column vector, a one-dimensional matrix often representing the solution of a system of linear equations
Spin vector, or Spinor, is an element of a complex vector space introduced to expand the notion of spatial vector
Tuple, an ordered list of numbers, sometimes used to represent a vector
Unit vector, a vector in a normed vector space whose length is 1
Vector, an element of a vector space
Vector fields
Vector field, a construction in vector calculus which associates a vector to every point in a subset of Euclidean space
Conservative vector field, a vector field which is the gradient of a scalar potential field
Hamiltonian vector field, a vector field defined for any energy function or Hamiltonian
