It is an intermediate server that sits between your computer and the machine you try to connect to.
For example, a business could use a proxy server to connect to the internet. If so, individual computers in the office would not connect to internet directly, but connect to the proxy server which would forward the request to the internet, receive the response and hand it back to the computer that asked for it.
In such cases, the reasons to use a proxy include security, as the proxy server could filter out various attacks.
Proxy servers are also used to cache content. For example, your ISP may have a proxy server that caches the most popular pages so it can serve those pages more quickly. When used to serve content like this, it is called a caching proxy.
There are several other variants, what they all have in common is that the proxy acts as a middle man in the communication between two other computers.
