Motor usually refers to either an electrical motor or an internal combustion engine. It may also refer to:
- Electric motor, a machine that converts electricity into a mechanical motion
- AC motor, an electric motor that is driven by alternating current
- Synchronous motor, an alternating current motor distinguished by a rotor spinning with coils passing magnets at the same rate as the alternating current and resulting magnetic field which drives it
- Induction motor, also called a squirrel-cage motor, a type of asynchronous alternating current motor where power is supplied to the rotating device by means of electromagnetic induction
- DC motor, an electric motor that runs on direct current electricity
- Brushed DC electric motor, an internally commutated electric motor designed to be run from a direct current power source
- Brushless DC motor, a synchronous electric motor which is powered by direct current electricity and has an electronically controlled commutation system, instead of a mechanical commutation system based on brushes
- Electrostatic motor, a type of electric motor based on the attraction and repulsion of electric charge
- Servo motor, an electric motor that operates a servo, commonly used in robotics
- Internal fan-cooled electric motor, an electric motor that is self-cooled by a fan, typically used for motors with a high energy density
