महापरियोजना

ऐसी परियोजना को महापरियोजना या मेगाप्रोजेक्ट (megaproject) कहते हैं जिसमें अत्यन्त बड़े स्तर निवेश (investment) करने की जरूरत पड़ती है। प्राय: एक बिलियन अमेरिकी डालर से भी अधिक खर्च वाले परियोजनाओं को महापरियोजना की श्रेणी में रखा जाता है। इन पर जनता का बहुत ध्यान भी आकर्षित होता है क्योंकि इनका आम जनता, पर्यावरण एवं देश की अर्थव्यवस्था पर बड़ा असर पड़ने की सम्भावना रहती है। दूसरे शब्दों में महापरियोजना उस पहल (इनिशिएटिव) को कहते हैं जिनमें कुछ भौतिक चीज बनने वाली हो, जो बहुत खर्चीली हो और जो सार्वजनिक हो। 

पुल, सुरंग, राजमार्ग, रेलपथ, हवाई अड्डे, समुद्री पत्तन, उर्जा संयंत्र, बांध, विशेष आर्थिक क्षेत्र (SEZ), तेल एवं प्राकृतिक गैस निकालना, वायु-अन्तरिक्ष परियोजना, अस्त्र-प्रणाली परियोजना आदि महापरियोजना की श्रेणी में आ सकतीं हैं।
