In organic chemistry, an electrophilic addition reaction is an addition reaction where, in a chemical compound, a π bond is broken and two new σ bonds are formed. The substrate of an electrophilic addition reaction must have a double bond or triple bond.

Electrophiles are positively charged or neutral species having vacant orbitals that are attracted to an electron rich centre. It participates in a chemical reaction by accepting an electron pair in order to bond to a nucleophile.

Electrophilic reagents include positively charged ions, for example, H+ and NO2+; neutral molecules with an electron deficiency, for example, SO3; and highly polarized molecules, for example CH3CO2–Br+.
