A comma is a punctuation mark that varies in appearance across different languages and typefaces, sometimes appearing as a small curved or straight line tilted from vertical, and other times as a tiny filled-in shape sitting on the baseline. Despite these visual differences, the comma serves as a consistent punctuation tool across writing systems, though its exact appearance may resemble an apostrophe or single quotation mark depending on the typeface used.

Das Komma (von altgriechisch κόμμα kómma, deutsch ‚Einschnitt, Abschnitt, Glied eines Satzes‘; Pl. Kommata oder auch Kommas) wird als Satzzeichen und Trennzeichen verwendet. Als Satzzeichen wird es besonders in Österreich und Südtirol auch Beistrich genannt. Als Trennzeichen wird das Komma in vielen Ländern als Dezimaltrennzeichen bei Zahlen oder beim Separieren von Daten und Werten benutzt. Als Satzzeichen bewirkt das Komma eine schwächere Trennung als das Semikolon und der Punkt.
