In differential geometry, the associate family of a minimal surface is a one-parameter family of minimal surfaces which share the same Weierstrass data. That is, if the surface has the representation

the family is described by

where ℜ {\displaystyle \Re } indicates the real part of a complex number.

For θ = π/2 the surface is called the conjugate of the θ = 0 surface.
