A '''civil code''' is a codification of [[private law]] relating to [[property law|property]], [[family law|family]], and [[law of obligations|obligations]].

A jurisdiction that has a civil code generally also has a [[code of civil procedure]]. In some jurisdictions with a civil code, a number of the core areas of private law that would otherwise typically be codified in a civil code may instead be codified in a [[commercial code (law)|commercial code]].
