In celestial mechanics, orbital precession may refer to:
- Apsidal precession, where the major axis of an elliptical orbit cycles its orientation within its orbital plane.
- Nodal precession, where non-spherical objects cause orbiting objects to change their orbits.
Not to be confused with:
- Axial precession, where the rotation axis of a spinning object traces a conical path like a top.
