'''Position space''' (also '''real space''' or '''coordinate space''') denominates the space of possible locations of an object in [[classical physics]].

The real space coordinates specify the position of an object. For instance,
the [[trajectory]] in [[classical mechanics]] is described in real space. The term ''position space'' is used in physics in order to make a distinction to:

* [[Phase space]]
* [[Reciprocal space]]
