Alignment is the adjustment of an object in relation with other objects, or a static orientation of some object or set of objects in relation to others.

It has a more specific meaning in some disciplines:
  • Typographic alignment, in typesetting, lines of text or images can be aligned left, right, centered or justified.
  • Sequence alignment shows similarities between protein or nucleic acid sequences (also in bioinformatics).
  • Structural alignment presents similarities in 3D structure of protein molecules.
  • Wheel alignment in an automobile means adjustment of the camber, castor, and/or toe to improve performance and maintain proper tire wear characteristics of the car
  • Data structure alignment, in computer programming, refers to arranging data in memory
  • Parallel text alignment, in artificial intelligence
  • Ontology alignment, in heterogeneous knowledge bases, the expression of the correspondences between two ontologies is called ontology alignment
  • Body alignment, in sport and dance, the proper placement of the bones so that the muscles do less work
  • Morphosyntactic alignment, in linguistics, the properties determining the grammatical relationship between verbal arguments of various kinds
  • Fibre alignment, in optoelectronics, to connect two Optical fibers to each other

Other fields where the term "alignment" has a particular meaning:

  • Ley line, an interpretation of an alignment of a number of places of geographical interest, such as ancient megaliths. Archaeogeodesy is the study of such alignments.
  • In integrated circuit fabrication, alignment is the step in a photolithographic process in which a mask used to pattern a layer of the circuit is registered in its x-y position with respect to the wafer (usually silicon) on which the circuit is being formed.
