Conductive coupling is the transfer of energy achieved by means of physical contact, for example, coupling other than inductive or capacitive coupling. Such coupling may be achieved by wire, resistor, or common terminal, such as a binding post or metallic bonding.

Conductive coupling passes the full spectrum of frequencies including dc. Conductive coupling is also known as direct coupling.
