眶額皮質（英語：orbitofrontal cortex，縮寫OFC），又譯為眼窩前額皮質、眼眶額葉皮質、前額葉基底部，是位於大腦額葉前下方的前額葉皮質，是與決策的認知過程有關的一個腦區。非人類靈長類動物的眶額皮質包括皮質聯合區布羅德曼11區、12區與13區，人類的眶額皮質則包括布羅德曼10區、11區與47區。^[1]

眶額皮質被認為與腹內側前額葉皮質（英語：Ventromedial prefrontal cortex）在解剖學上是一致的。^[2]它的獨特之處在於其神經連接及其功能。^[3]眶額皮質接受丘腦背內側核（英語：Medial dorsal nucleus）的投射，涉及決策過程的情緒和獎賞。^[4]其覆蓋於眼眶之上，並因而得名。無論是在人類還是其他靈長類動物中，眶額皮質有着顯然的個體差異。在鼠類大腦中也發現了與其相關的腦區。^[5]
