Abstract : In this paper, we generalize the Catalan number to the $(n,k)$-th Catalan numbers and find a combinatorial description that the $(n,k)$-th Catalan numbers is equal to the number of partitions of $n(k-1)+2$ polygon by $(k+1)$-gon where all vertices of all $(k+1)$-gons lie on the vertices of $n(k-1)+2$ polygon.
