An electrostatic particle accelerator is a particle accelerator in which charged particles are accelerated to a high energy by a static high voltage potential. This contrasts with the other major category of particle accelerator, oscillating field particle accelerators, in which the particles are accelerated by oscillating electric fields.

| - An electrostatic particle accelerator is a particle accelerator in which charged particles are accelerated to a high energy by a static high voltage potential. This contrasts with the other major category of particle accelerator, oscillating field particle accelerators, in which the particles are accelerated by oscillating electric fields. Owing to their simpler design, electrostatic types were the first particle accelerators. The two most common types are the Van de Graaf generator invented by Robert Van de Graaff in 1929, and the Cockcroft-Walton accelerator invented by John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton in 1932. The maximum particle energy produced by electrostatic accelerators is limited by the maximum voltage which can be achieved the machine. This is in turn limited by insulation breakdown to a few megavolts. Oscillating accelerators do not have this limitation, so they can achieve higher particle energies than electrostatic machines. The advantages of electrostatic accelerators over oscillating field machines include lower cost, the ability to produce continuous beams, and higher beam currents that make them useful to industry. As such, they are by far the most widely used particle accelerators, with industrial applications such as plastic shrink wrap production, high power X-ray machines, radiation therapy in medicine, radioisotope production, ion implanters in semiconductor production, and sterilization. Many universities worldwide have electrostatic accelerators for research purposes. High energy oscillating field accelerators usually incorporate an electrostatic machine as their first stage, to accelerate particles to a high enough velocity to inject into the main accelerator. Electrostatic accelerators are a subset of linear accelerators (linacs). While all linacs accelerate particles in a straight line, electrostatic accelerators use a fixed accelerating field from a single high voltage source, while radiofrequency linacs use oscillating electric fields across a series of accelerating gaps.

Juntamente com o eletrodo sob alta tensão, encontra-se a fonte de íons ou elétrons . Este acelerador é normalmente identificado pelo tipo de gerador de alta tensão utilizado. A alta tensão pode ser gerada retificando-se uma tensão alternada (gerador Cockcroft-Walton), ou usando-se um sistema mecânico para o transporte de carga eletrostática até o terminal de alta tensão (gerador Van de Graaff) .
