Historically, an armourer is a person who makes personal armour, especially plate armour. Historically, armourers were often men, but women could also undertake the occupation: for example, Alice la Haubergere worked as an armourer in Cheapside in the early 1300s, and in 1348 Eustachia l’Armurer was training her husband's daughter, likely in the field.

In modern terms, an armourer is a member of a military or police force who works in an armoury and maintains and repairs small arms and weapons systems, with some duties resembling those of a civilian gunsmith. The term may also be used in film and TV production for a person responsible for prop guns and other weapons; the head of this function is often called a weapons master.
