A finger is a digit on the hand of humans and other animals with prehensile extremities, distinguished from toes by being notably elongated compared to the bones in the palm or foot. Fingers matter because their flexible joints and opposable design enable humans to sense texture and perform precise movements, which are essential for hand dexterity and grasping.

Ein Finger – lateinisch auch Digitus (manus) (Mehrzahl: Digiti [manus]) für „Finger (der Hand)“ – ist ein Teil der Hand. Die Finger gehören zu den Akren. Fast alle Tetrapoden haben fünf Finger (pentadaktyles System). Finger haben Greif-, Stütz- und Haltefunktionen. Das Pendant zu den Fingern sind an den unteren Extremitäten die Zehen.
