止回阀是能自动阻止流体倒流的阀门。止回阀的阀瓣在流体压力作用下开启，流体从进口侧流向出口侧。当进口侧压力低于出口侧时，阀瓣在流体压差、本身重力等因素作用下自动关闭以防止流体倒流。
止回阀一般分为升降式、旋启式等几种类型。
升降式止回阀的结构一般与截止阀相似，其阀瓣沿着通道中心线作升降运动，动作可靠，但流体阻力较大，适用于较小口径的场合。升降式止回阀可分为直通式和立式两种。直通式升降式止回阀一般只能安装在水平管路，而立式升降止回阀一般应安装在垂直管路。
旋启式止回阀的阀瓣绕转轴作旋转运动。其流体阻力一般小于升降式止回阀，它适用于较大口径的场合。旋启式止回阀根据阀瓣的数目可分为单瓣旋启式、双瓣旋启式及多瓣旋启式三种。单瓣旋启式止回阀一般适用于中等口径的场合。大口径管路选用单瓣旋启式止回阀时，为减少水锤压力，采用能减小水锤压力的缓闭止回阀。双瓣旋启式止回阀适用于大中口径管路。对夹双瓣旋启式止回阀结构小、重量轻，是一种发展较快的止回阀；多瓣旋启式止回阀适用于大口径管道路。
