Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.

Pascal's law of transmission of pressure is described below.
- According to Pascal's law of transmission of pressure, "the pressure exerted anywhere in a confined liquid is transmitted equally and undiminished throughout the liquid in all directions". This principle, or law, was first articulated by Blaise Pascal, the French scientist, and, in his honor, it is named so.
- It means that, if a liquid is enclosed or confined in a closed container, then the pressure applied at any one point of the liquid will get transmitted to every point of this confined liquid as well as the container walls, without any change in its magnitude.
- A few applications of Pascal's law include examples such as hydraulic lifts, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic presses, etc.
