股利（英語：Dividend），又译股息或红利，日韓稱配當，是指股份公司从留存收益中派发给股东的那一部分。股利是股东投资于股份公司的收益的一部分（另一部分是资本利得），是付给资本的报酬。就上市公司的情況中，股利只會派发給在除息日之前一日持有股票至除息日当日的人士，在除息日当日或以后才买入股票的人则不能获派股利。与此同時，证券交易所會在除息日开市前自动把股票的前一交易日收盘价扣減股利后的价值，定为该股票的开盘交易日的开盘价，因此股价会在除息日开盘时自动下跌。股息通常一年發放一次。股利一般有两种支付方式：现金股利（股息，英語：Cash Dividends）和紅股（股利，英語：Stock Dividends）。
