翻译批评（Translation criticism）是指在一定的社会条件下、遵循一定的翻译原则、并运用一定的方法，对某一译作所作的评价。
翻译批评必须避免随意性和盲目性、杜绝胡批乱评和感想式的点评，应该在一定的理论指导下，历史地、客观地、全面地、系统地去观察和分析翻译过程和翻译结果，必须尽可能做到客观、科学和公正。从事翻译批评的人必须对翻译本身，对它的实质、可行性、原则、方法、目的、作用等基本问题有一个系统的认识。
需要注意的是翻译批评不只是单指批评（译作的不足），同时也包括指出译作的优点所在。
翻译批评常用的理论有翻译美学、接受美学、图式理论、格式塔理论等。
翻译批评的原则主要有：the author -and -reader -oriented translation criticism principle ; the source -language -oriented or the target-language -oriented translation criticism principle ; the aesthetic -oriented translation criticism translation principle ;the sociosemiotic -oriented translation criticism pricinple .
