Zasićena mast je mast koja se sastoji od triglicerida koji sadrže samo zasićene masne kiseline. Zasićene masne kiseline nemaju dvostruku vezu između atoma ugljenika u lancima masnih kiselina. Drugim rečima njihovi lanci atoma ugljenika su potpuno zasićeni atomima vodonika. Postoje mnoge vrste prirodnih zasićenih masnih kiselina, koje uglavnom razlikuju po proju atoma ugljenika, od 3 ugljenika (propionska kiselina) do 36 (heksatriakontanoinska kiselina).

Razne masti sadrže različite proporcije zasićenih i nezasićenih masti. Primeri hrane koja sadrži visoke proporcije zasićene masti su kajmak, sir, puter, i topljeno maslo; loj, slanina, i masna mesa; kao i pojedini biljni proizvodi kao što su kokosovo ulje, pamukovo ulje, ulje palminih koštica, čokolada, itd.
