A model of an elementary theory $T$ that can be embedded in every model of $T$. If $T$ is model complete (cf. Model theory) and admits a prime model, then $T$ is complete. This fact is called the prime model test.
The prime model of the elementary theory of all fields with fixed characteristic is the prime field of that characteristic.
