Kodaira dimension
K3 surfaces

Abelian surfaces
- Horrocks–Mumford surfaces, surfaces of degree 10 in projective 4-space that are the zero locus of sections of the rank-two Horrocks–Mumford bundle
Other classes of dimension- surfaces
- Non-classical Enriques surfaces, a variation on the notion of Enriques surfaces that only exist in characteristic two
- Hyperelliptic surfaces or bielliptic surfaces; quasi-hyperelliptic surfaces are a variation of this notion that exist only in characteristics two and three
- Kodaira surfaces
Kodaira dimension
Kodaira dimension (surfaces of general type)
- Barlow surfaces
- Beauville surfaces
- Burniat surfaces
- Campedelli surfaces; surfaces of general type with the same Hodge numbers as Campedelli surfaces are called numerical Campidelli surfaces
- Castelnuovo surfaces
- Catanese surfaces
- Fake projective planes or Mumford surfaces, surfaces with the same Betti numbers as projective plane but not isomorphic to it
- Fano surface of lines on a non-singular 3-fold; sometimes, this term is taken to mean del Pezzo surface
- Godeaux surfaces; surfaces of general type with the same Hodge numbers as Godeaux surfaces are called numerical Godeaux surfaces
- Horikawa surfaces
- Todorov surfaces
Families of surfaces with members in multiple classes
- Surfaces that are also Shimura varieties:
- Elliptic surfaces, surfaces with an elliptic fibration; quasielliptic surfaces constitute a modification this idea that occurs in finite characteristic
- Raynaud surfaces and generalized Raynaud surfaces, certain quasielliptic counterexamples to the conclusions of the Kodaira vanishing theorem
- Exceptional surfaces, surfaces whose Picard number achieve the bound set by the central Hodge number h1,1
- Kähler surfaces, complex surfaces with a Kähler metric; equivalently, surfaces for which the first Betti number b1 is even
- Minimal surfaces, surfaces that can't be obtained from another by blowing up at a point; they have no connection with the minimal surfaces of differential geometry
- Nodal surfaces, surfaces whose only singularities are nodes
- Cayley's nodal cubic, which has 4 nodes
- Kummer surfaces, quartic surfaces with 16 nodes
- Togliatti surface, a certain quintic with 31 nodes
- Barth surfaces, referring to a certain sextic with 65 nodes and decic with 345 nodes
- Labs surface, a certain septic with 99 nodes
- Endrass surface, a certain surface of degree 8 with 168 nodes
- Sarti surface, a certain surface of degree 12 with 600 nodes
- Quotient surfaces, surfaces that are constructed as the orbit space of some other surface by the action of a finite group; examples include Kummer, Godeaux, Hopf, and Inoue surfaces
- Zariski surfaces, surfaces in finite characteristic that admit a purely inseparable dominant rational map from the projective plane
