强制执行，英文表达为Compulsory Execution或enforce，是指人民法院的执行组织依照法律规定的程序和方式，运用国家的强制力量，在负有义务的一方当事人拒不履行义务时，强制其履行义务，从而实现生效法律文书内容的一种诉讼活动。

民事诉讼强制执行的方式有两种：

1、直接强制执行（execute directly），是指义务人拒不履行其应当履行的义务时，行政强制执行机关对其人身或财产施以强制力直接强制义务人履行义务，或者通过强制手段达到与义务人履行义务相同状态的一种强制执行措施。

由于直接强制执行直接施加于人身或财物，造成对公民人身自由、财产权侵害的可能性较大，因此，适用直接强制执行必须十分慎重，严格遵守法律、法规的规定。

2、间接强制执行（execute indirectly），是指行政主体通过间接手段迫使义务人履行其应当履行的法定义务或者达到与履行义务相同状态的行政强制措施。

间接强制可以分为代执行和执行罚两种：

（1）代执行，acting performance，是指行政强制执行机关或第三人代替义务人履行法定义务，并向义务人征收必要费用的强制执行措施。

（2）执行罚，executive forfeit，是指行政强制执行机关对拒不履行不作为义务或不可替代的作为义务的义务主体，可以金钱给付义务，以促使其履行义务的强制执行措施。
