Each entry on this '''list of common misconceptions''' is worded as a correction; the misconceptions themselves are implied rather than stated. These entries are concise summaries; the main subject articles can be consulted for more detail.

Common misconceptions are viewpoints or [[factoid]]s that are often accepted as true, but which are actually false. They generally arise from [[conventional wisdom]] (such as [[old wives' tale]]s), [[stereotypes]], [[superstition]]s, [[Fallacy|fallacies]], a misunderstanding of science, or the popularization of [[pseudoscience]]. Some common misconceptions are also considered to be [[urban legend]]s, and they are sometimes involved in [[moral panic]]s.
