Exponential may refer to any of several mathematical topics related to exponentiation, including:
- Exponential function, also:
- Matrix exponential, the matrix analogue to the above

- Exponential discounting, a specific form of the discount function, used in the analysis of choice over time
- Exponential growth, where the growth rate of a mathematical function is proportional to the function's current value
- Exponential map (Riemannian geometry), in Riemannian geometry
- Exponential map (Lie theory), in Lie theory
- Exponential notation, also known as scientific notation, or standard form
- Exponential object, in category theory
- Exponential time, in complexity theory
- in probability and statistics:
- Exponential distribution, a family of continuous probability distributions
- Exponentially modified Gaussian distribution, describes the sum of independent normal and exponential random variables
- Exponential family, a parametric set of probability distributions of a certain form
