Libido is a psychological energy that primarily refers to sexual desire, though some psychologists view it as a broader driving force behind various human needs and emotions. The concept was developed by Sigmund Freud, who initially used it to describe sexual needs but later expanded it to represent a universal desire that motivates many aspects of human behavior and life.

Der Begriff der Libido (lateinisch libido: „Begehren, Begierde“, im engeren Sinne: „Wollust, Trieb, Maßlosigkeit“) stammt aus der Psychoanalyse und bezeichnet jene psychische Energie, die mit den Trieben der Sexualität verknüpft ist. Als Synonym zu sexueller Lust und Begehren ist dieser Terminus inzwischen auch in den allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch eingegangen und wird in der Psychologie im Sinne einer „allen psychischen Äußerungen zugrunde liegende[n] psychische[n] Energie“ verstanden.
