A lexeme () is a unit of lexical meaning that underlies a set of words that are related through inflection. It is a basic abstract unit of meaning, a unit of morphological analysis in linguistics that roughly corresponds to a set of forms taken by a single root word. For example, in the English language, run, runs, ran and running are forms of the same lexeme, which can be represented as RUN.
A lexeme is a basic unit of meaning in language that groups together different forms of the same root word—for example, "run," "runs," "ran," and "running" are all forms of the single lexeme RUN. Linguists use lexemes to analyze how language is structured and to understand the underlying meaning shared across words that look different but are fundamentally the same.

One form, the lemma (or citation form), is chosen by convention as the canonical form of a lexeme. The lemma is the form used in dictionaries as an entry's headword. Other forms of a lexeme are often listed later in the entry if they are uncommon or irregularly inflected.
