Contact potential may refer to:

  • Contact electrification, a superseded scientific theory
  • Electromotive force#Contact potentials, refers to voltage generated by a battery or by the magnetic force according to Faraday's Law
    • Galvani potential difference (in electrochemistry, at a junction of two metals)
    • Volta potential difference (in electrochemistry, between two points in vacuum near surfaces of two metals in contact)
