A concrete pile is a foundation driven deep into the ground to support the structure, unlike shallow or wide foundations such as Isolated Footings or Combined Footings. They are usually much thinner in diameter or width than in length. Due to their sometimes incredible length/depth, piles typically carry a higher load capacity than the aforementioned shallow footings.

With most structures, concrete piles are more common than the other piles. The earliest form of the concrete pile is a cast-in-place pile.
