The following is a list of integrals (antiderivative functions) of trigonometric functions. For integrals involving both exponential and trigonometric functions, see List of integrals of exponential functions. For a complete list of Integral functions, see table of integrals and list of integrals. See also: trigonometric integral

In all formulas the constant a is assumed to be nonzero, and C denotes the constant of integration.
