An Ito Process is a type of stochastic process described by Japanese mathematician Kiyoshi Ito, which can be written as the sum of the integral of a process over time and of another process over a Brownian Motion.

Those processes are the base of Stochastic Integration, and are therefore widely used in Financial Mathematics and Stochastic Calculus.

Let be a probability space with a filtration that we consider as complete.
