Potassium feldspar refers to a number of minerals in the feldspar group, and containing potassium:

• Orthoclase ( endmember formula K Al Si₃ O₈), an important tectosilicate mineral that forms igneous rock
• Microcline, chemically the same as orthoclase, but with a different crystalline structure
• Sanidine, the high-temperature form of potassium feldspar (K,Na)(Si,Al)₄O₈
• Adularia, a more ordered low-temperature variety of orthoclase or partially disordered microcline
• Amazonite (sometimes called "Amazon stone"), a green variety of microcline
