The log to the base 10 of the concentration of Hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution times -1.

pH = -log10[H+]

This measures the acidity of a solution. A low pH indicates a high concentration of H+(and therefore a low concentration of OH-) which is an acidic solution, and a high pH is found in alkaline solutions (low H+ and high OH-). Neutral is 7 - the pH of water, when there are the same number of H+ ions as OH- ions.
