Cassinijev oval je kriva četvrtog reda, koja se može definirati kao geometrijsko mjesto tačaka koje zadovoljavaju uslov da je konstantan proizvod njihove razdaljine od dvije fiksne tačke. Kriva je imenovana prema astronomu Giovanniju Domenicu Cassiniju , koji ju je proučavao 1680. Cassini je pogrešno smatrao da ta kriva tačnije predstavlja kretanje Zemlje .
