Copper oxide is a compound from the two elements copper and oxygen.

Copper oxide may refer to:

  • Copper(I) oxide (cuprous oxide, Cu2O)
  • Copper(II) oxide (cupric oxide, CuO)
  • Copper peroxide (CuO2)
  • Copper(III) oxide (Cu2O3) does not exist although Cu(III) is a component of cuprate superconductors
  • Copper(IV) oxide (CuO2) has been proposed to exist in the gas phase[1]
