Lobar pneumonia is a form of pneumonia characterized by inflammatory exudate within the intra-alveolar space resulting in consolidation that affects a large and continuous area of the lobe of a lung.

It is one of three anatomic classifications of pneumonia. In children round pneumonia develops instead because the pores of Kohn which allow the lobar spread of infection are underdeveloped.
