{{short description|Slice of a circle cut perpendicular to the radius}}

In [[geometry]], a '''circular segment''' (symbol: <span style="font-size:1.5em">⌓</span>), also known as a '''disk segment''', is a [[region (geometry)|region]] of a [[circledisk (mathematics)|disk]] which is "cut off" from the rest of the circledisk by a [[secant line|secant]] or a [[chord (geometry)|chord]]. More formally, a circular segment is a region of [[two-dimensional space]] that is bounded by ana [[arccircular (geometry)|arc]] (of less than π radians by convention) of a circle and by the [[circular chord]] connecting the endpoints of the arc.
