'''Supercritical''' may refer to:
* [[Critical mass]], the smallest amount of fissile material needed for a sustained nuclear chain reaction
* [[Critical temperature]], Tc, the temperature above which distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist
* [[Supercritical fluid]], a substance at a temperature and pressure above its thermodynamic critical point
* [[Supercritical carbon dioxide]], same as above, applied to carbon dioxide
* [[Supercritical fluid chromatography]], high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), using supercritical carbon dioxide as the mobile phase
* [[Supercritical airfoil]], an airfoil designed to delay the onset of wave drag in the transonic speed range
* [[Supercritical drying]], the process to remove liquid in a precisely controlled way, similar to freeze drying
* [[Supercritical water reactor]] (SCWR), a Generation IV nuclear reactor concept that uses supercritical water as the working fluid
* [[Supercritical water oxidation]] or SCWO, a process that occurs in water at temperatures and pressures above a mixture's thermodynamic critical point
* [[Supercritical flow]], when the flow velocity is larger than the wave velocity
* [[Boiler#Supercritical_steam_generators|Supercritical steam generators]], a steam generator operating above the critical point of water, hence having no water - steam separation
* [[Hopf bifurcation]], a local bifurcation ; when the first Lyapunov coefficient is negative, the bifurcation is called supercritical
* [[Pitchfork bifurcation]], similar to the case of a Hopf bifurcation
