Ternary complex refers to a complex containing three different molecules which are bound together. In structural biology ternary complex can be used to describe a crystal containing a protein with two small molecules bound, for example cofactor and substrate; or a complex formed between two proteins and a single substrate.

A ternary complex can also refer to a polymer formed by electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes.
