An intercom (intercommunication device) is an electronic communications system intended for limited or private dialogue, direction, collaboration or announcements. Intercoms can be portable or mounted permanently in buildings and vehicles. Intercoms can incorporate connections to walkie talkies, telephones, cell phones and to other intercom systems over phone or data lines and to electronic or electro-mechanical devices such as signal lights and door latches.

Permanent intercoms installed in buildings are generally composed of fixed microphone/speaker units which connect to a central control panel by wires. A small home intercom might connect a few rooms in a house. Larger systems might connect all of the rooms in a school or hospital to a central office. Intercoms in larger buildings often function as public address systems, capable of broadcasting announcements.

In many schools, tones signaling the change of classes are sounded over the intercom, taking the place of the electromechanical bells used in older schools. Additionally many schools now use audio / video intercoms to identify visitors trying to gain access to a locked school building. Many intercom systems can be interfaced with the building's access control system.

Intercom systems can be found on many types of vehicles including trains, watercraft, aircraft and armored fighting vehicles.

Portable intercoms are commonly used by special event production crews and professional sports teams. Performing arts venues such as theaters and concert halls often have a combination of permanently mounted and portable intercom elements. Motorsports race tracks often have both portable and permanent intercom stations mounted at critical points around the racecourse for use by race officials and emergency medical technicians.

Traditional intercom systems are composed entirely of analogue electronics components but many new features and interfacing options can be accomplished with new intercom systems based on digital connections. Video signals can be interlaced with the more familiar audio signals. Digital intercom stations can be connected using Cat 5 cable and can even use existing computer networks as a means of interfacing distant parties.
