Kennis is dat wat geweten wordt, wat geleerd is (en opgeslagen) en dat waar een individu inzicht in heeft. Kennis omvat informatie, beschrijvingen hiervan of vaardigheden die door ervaring of opleiding zijn verkregen. In de kentheorie of epistemologie wordt onderzocht wat kennis is en of aanspraken op kennis gerechtvaardigd zijn. In de loop van de tijd zijn er dan ook wisselende ideeën ontwikkeld over wat er te weten valt en in welke mate er sprake moet zijn van twijfel. Er kan onderscheid gemaakt worden tussen theoretische en praktische kennis. Er bestaan vele soorten kennis, bijvoorbeeld zelfkennis, vakkennis en wetenschappelijke kennis. Algemene ontwikkeling is basiskennis op allerlei gebieden.
