La gonorrea (dal greco "gonos": seme; e "reo" : scorro;) o blenorragia (dal greco "blenos": muco; e "ragoo": erompo;) è una malattia a trasmissione sessuale (STI) causata dal batterio Neisseria gonorrhoeae. È popolarmente nominata "scolo". I termini si riferiscono al principale sintomo, ossia le perdite uretrali. I due termini, che nella pratica medica sono sinonimi, coprono anche tutta una serie di manifestazioni extrauretrali: difatti l'infezione può riguardare anche la cervice uterina, il retto, la faringe, e per diffusione ematogena le articolazioni (artrite gonococcica), il fegato (epatite) e il miocardio (miocardite).
