Die Klitoris (lateinisch clitoris, Genitiv: clitoridis; von altgriechisch κλειτορίς kleitorís, ‚kleiner Hügel‘), ist ein großenteils aus Schwellkörpergeweben gebildeter Teil des weiblichen Genitals, von dem nur die Eichel der Klitoris (Glans clitoridis) und die sie umschließende Klitorisvorhaut (praeputium clitoridis) von außen sichtbar sind. Die Eichel ist der empfindlichste Teil dieses Organs. Die jeweils paarigen Schwellkörper vereinigen sich nach oben hin zum Klitorisschaft, an dem sich die Eichel befindet. Eichel und Schaft werden deutsch auch Kitzler genannt. Die Schwellkörper befinden sich unter den Schamlippen und anderen Bereichen der Vulva. Die gesamte Klitoris ist erogen und spielt für die sexuelle Erregung und den Orgasmus der Frau eine wichtige Rolle.
