《微軟 Encarta 百科全書》是世界最受歡迎的百科全書，它誕生於 1993 年，目前最新的版本爲 2009 版。Encarta 與大英百科一樣內容豐富，它包含數千萬字的專業文字資料，數十萬張圖片和海量的視頻、音頻、交互動畫等多媒體資源，而且界面華麗，安裝、使用相當方便。更爲重要的是，微軟幾乎每周都會爲 Encarta 提供在線更新，爲使用者送來最新的信息。如果說大英百科憑借其頗具學術價值的文章而成爲權威的知識庫，那麽 Encarta 從綜合使用的角度則是目前當之無愧的最佳百科全書。
Encarta 目前有兩種發行方式：一種是作爲 Microsoft Student （微軟學生）套件的一部分，另一種是單獨發行的版本。作爲電子版百科全書，兩者的內容是完全相同的。所不同的是，Student 除了包含 Encarta 這個大型知識庫外，還帶有適合學生使用的工具軟件，如 Learning Essentials（Office 模闆，用於論文、報告）以及 Microsoft Math（數學工具）等，相應體積也要大出不少。
