陰謀論通常是指對歷史或當代事件作出特別解釋的說法。此類特別解釋不同於一般廣為接受的解釋，將事件解釋為個人或是團體祕密策劃的結果。而且此類特別解釋中特別激進者還會進一步駁斥那些廣為接受的解釋，認為那些是陰謀策劃者的掩飾。
說一個理論是陰謀論不但是說此理論不被廣為接受，有時還帶有此理論沒有嚴謹證據支持、荒謬不合邏輯而不值得考慮的意味。陰謀論不只是指理論，也用來指許多沒有證據的說法、傳聞。

The term "conspiracy theory" is used by mainstream scholars and in popular culture to identify a type of folklore similar to an urban legend, especially an explanatory narrative which is constructed with particular methodological flaws.[5] The term is also used pejoratively to dismiss claims that are alleged by critics to be misconceived, paranoid, unfounded, outlandish, irrational, or otherwise unworthy of serious consideration. For example "Conspiracy nut" and "conspiracy theorist" are used as pejorative terms. Some whose theories or speculations are labeled a "conspiracy theory" reject the term as prejudicial.
Whether or not a particular conspiracy allegation may be impartially or neutrally labeled a conspiracy theory is subject to some controversy. Conspiracy theory has become a highly charged political term, and the broad critique of 'conspiracy theorists' by academics, politicians, psychologists, and the media cuts across traditional left-right political lines.
The US academic Noam Chomsky contrasts conspiracy theory as more or less the opposite of institutional analysis, which focuses mostly on the public, long-term behaviour of publicly known institutions, as recorded in, e.g. scholarly documents or mainstream media reports, rather than secretive coalitions of individuals.
