In human anatomy, the forehead or brow is the bony part of the head above the eyes. In modern humans it is vertical, ending at the hairline where the head flattens out. Muscles of the forehead include the frontalis, which moves and contracts the forehead's scalp. A popular stereotype is that having a large forehead signifies a high level of intelligence, although this is more of an old wives' tale than anything else.

The forehead is a popular place for decoration and religious symbolism in many cultures. In India, women often decorate their foreheads with bindis. On Ash Wednesday, Roman Catholic priests bless worshipers by marking their foreheads with ashes in the shape of a cross.

Historically, the word has rhymed with "horrid" RP: , GenAm: , but the spelling pronunciation RP: , GenAm: has become more common in recent years.
