We extend the theory of time delay to N‐body scattering. The known results relating time delay to the S matrix in the two‐body and three‐body problem suggest that these relationships are universal. Within the context of two‐Hilbert space N‐body scattering theory an abstract definition of time delay is provided. For all scattering processes initiated by the collision of two clusters a simple proof is constructed establishing the connection of time delay to the on‐shell S matrix and its energy derivatives. The definition of time delay and method of proof given here are compared with earlier approaches used in the three‐body problem.
