A goutte is a droplet-shaped charge used in heraldry. Its name derives from the Old French for "droplet".
A goutte may be blazoned by its tincture, as in a goutte argent (literally "a silver droplet"). Alternatively, there are special names given to gouttes of various tinctures, as in a ''goutte d'eau'' (literally "a droplet of water").
