A supercollider is a high-energy particle accelerator. The 80 km long Superconducting Super Collider, which before its cancellation in October 1993 due to the large cost, was planned for construction in Waxahachie, Texas, is one such device. The device would have been capable of accelerating beams of protons to energies of 20 TeV per beam.

Other machines that could be called supercolliders are the Tevatron, currently operating at Fermilab, and the Large Hadron Collider, due to begin operations in 2007 at CERN.
