CoinJoin is a special kind of bitcoin transaction which aims to improve privacy. A coinjoin transaction is one where multiple people have agreed to form a single transaction where some of the the outputs have the same value. A casual observer of the blockchain cannot tell which output belongs to whom. Unlike many other privacy solutions, coinjoin transactions do not require a modification to the bitcoin protocol.

This type of transaction was first described in a post[1] by gmaxwell.
