In mathematics, a projective algebraic manifold is a complex manifold which is a submanifold of a complex projective space which is determined by the zeros of a set of homogeneous polynomials.

For example if for r in R and p_r is the polynomial C² → C : (x, y) → x² + y² - r², then

is a projective algebraic manifold.
