Zapalenie kaletki maziowej (ang. Bursitis) to zapalenie jednej lub większej ilości kaletek maziowych, których w mianownictwie anatomicznym wyróżnia się około 50. Kaletki maziowe są strukturami znajdującymi się pomiędzy sąsiadującymi tkankami np. pomiędzy tkanką kostną a mięśniową i zabezpieczają przed nadmiernym tarciem. Zdrowe kaletki maziowe zapewniają, że ruch jest płynny i bezbolesny. Gdy dochodzi do zapalenia kaletek maziowych ruch staje się utrudniony i bolesny, a zwiększone tarcie pomiędzy tkankami jeszcze bardziej nasila stan zapalny kaletek maziowych.
