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.

指(ゆび)は、一般的に人間の身体の一部で、手や足の末端部にある突出部で、中に関節のある骨格を含む。人が日常的に使う部位だけに様々な意味合いを持つ言葉に発展し、慣用句でも多用されている。相同な構造は四肢動物全般に見られ、四肢の形成の初期から存在する物である。 大和言葉としての「ゆび」は手足両方を指すが、漢字の「指」は手偏が付いていることからもわかるとおり、本来は手の「ゆび」を意味する。英語などのゲルマン語や中国語では手の「ゆび」と足の「ゆび」を区別する。「finger」と「toe」、「Finger」と「Zehe」、「手指」と「脚趾」など。英語では日本語の指と同様に親指を含めてfinger(s)と呼ぶ場合と、親指を除いた4本のみをfingerとする場合がある。日本語でも、医学用語では「指」と「趾」を区別する。 一方、仏: doigt・西: dedo・伊: ditoなどは「ゆび」と同様、手足ともに用いられる。
