Continuity or continuous may refer to:

* Continuity (mathematics), the opposing concept to discreteness;
common examples include
** Continuous probability distribution or random variable in
probability and statistics
** Continuous game, a generalization of games used in game theory
** Law of continuity, a heuristic principle of Gottfried Leibniz
* Continuous function, in particular:
** Continuity (topology), a generalization to functions between
topological spaces
** Scott continuity, for functions between posets
** Continuity (set theory), for functions between ordinals
** Continuity (category theory), for functors
** Graph continuity, for payoff functions in game theory
* Continuity theorem may refer to one of two results:
** Lévy's continuity theorem, on random variables
** Kolmogorov continuity theorem, on stochastic processes
* In geometry:
** Parametric continuity, for parametrised curves
** Geometric continuity, a concept primarily applied to the conic
sections and related shapes
* In probability theory
** Continuous stochastic process


                              Science
======================================================================
* Continuity equations applicable to conservation of mass, energy,
momentum, electric charge and other conserved quantities
* Continuity test for an unbroken electrical path in an electronic
circuit or connector
* In materials science:
** a colloidal system, consists of a dispersed phase evenly intermixed
with a continuous phase
** a continuous wave, an electromagnetic wave of constant amplitude
and frequency


                           Entertainment
======================================================================
* Continuity (broadcasting), messages played by broadcasters between
programs
* Continuity editing, a form of film editing that combines closely
related shots into a sequence highlighting plot points or
consistencies
* Continuity (fiction), consistency of plot elements, such as
characterization, location, and costuming, within a work of fiction
(this is a mass noun)
* Continuity (setting), one of several similar but distinct fictional
universes in a broad franchise of related works (this is a count noun)
* "Continuity" or continuity script, the precursor to a film
