The Courant-Snyder parameterization of one-dimensional linear betatron motion is generalized to two-dimensional coupled linear motion. To represent the 4 x 4 symplectic transfer matrix the following ten parameters were chosen: four beta-function, four alpha-functions and two betatron phase advances. The beta-functions have a meaning similar to the Courant-Snyder parameterization, and the definition of alpha-functions coincides with the standard one at regions with zero longitudinal magnetic field, where they are equal to negative half-derivatives of the beta-functions. Such a parameterization can be useful for analysis of coupled betatron motion in circular machines and transfer lines.
