Caning is a form of corporal punishment that consists of administering strikes (known as "strokes") to the body with what is typically a rattan cane. Generally, this is applied to the recipient's bare or clothed buttocks (see spanking); however, caning may also be applied to the soles of the feet (see bastinado), the palms of the hand, or the back of the thighs. Caning on the knuckles is considerably less common, and in rare instances it may be administered on the back, shoulders, or front of the body.

The size and flexibility of a cane vary, as can the number of strokes administered. The sensation of a stroke from the cane is a sharp sting, followed by a lingering burn. The cane can effectively deliver sharp, intense strokes without requiring excessive force. Welts, ranging from light to intense (depending on the force of the stroke), are commonly associated with the cane.
