Preconsciente es un concepto definido por Sigmund Freud para designar un sistema del aparato psíquico intermedio entre los otros dos sistemas (inconsciente y consciente). El conjunto de los tres sistemas conforma su primer modelo topográfico de la psiquis. Con este término, Freud quiso designar un área no consciente del psiquismo humano que debe diferenciarse en sentido estricto del sistema inconsciente.

In psychoanalysis, preconscious are the thoughts which are unconscious at the particular moment in question, but which are not repressed and are therefore available for recall and easily 'capable of becoming conscious'—a phrase attributed by Sigmund Freud to Joseph Breuer. Freud contrasted the preconscious (Psc.; German: das Vorbewusste) to both the conscious (Cs.; das Bewusste) and the unconscious (Ucs.; das Unbewusste) in his so-called topographical system of the mind. Preconscious can also refer to information that is available for cognitive processing but that currently lies outside conscious awareness. One of the most common forms of preconscious processing is priming (psychology). Other common forms of preconscious processing are tip of the tongue phenomenon and blindsight.
