A collective is a group of people who share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest, or work together to achieve a common objective. Collectives are also characterised by attempts to share and exercise political and social power and to make decisions on a consensus-driven and egalitarian basis.

A commune or intentional community, which may also be known as a "collective household", is a group of people who live together in some kind of dwelling or residence, or in some other arrangement (eg. sharing land). Collective households may be organized for a specific purpose (eg. relating to business, parenting, or some other shared interest).

The term collective is sometimes used to describe a species as a whole, for example the human collective.

The term is also used as a common reference to the collective pitch flight control in helicopters.
