The gyromagnetic ratio, often denoted by the symbol γ (gamma) is the ratio of the magnetic momentum in a particle to its angular momentum.

The SI unit is the radian per second per tesla (rad⋅s⁻¹⋅T⁻¹).

The gyromagnetic ratio of the proton is 2.675 221 900(18) x 10⁸ s^-1⋅T^-1.

Since a proton will precess at a specific frequency when placed in an external magnetic field, proportional to the gyromagnetic ratio times the strength of the magnetic field over 2π, the gyromagnetic ratio is often transformed into a more useful form, denoted in units of MHz⋅T⁻¹.

At an external field strength of 1.0 tesla, the gyromagnetic ratio of the proton over 2π is ~~0.42577478925~~42.577478925(286) MHz⋅T ⁻¹.
