A metronome () is a device that produces an audible click or other sound at a uniform interval that can be set by the user, typically in beats per minute (BPM). Metronomes may also include synchronized visual motion, such as a swinging pendulum or a blinking light.

A metronome is a device that produces regular, evenly-spaced sounds (clicks or beeps) at a speed you set, usually measured in beats per minute, and it may also include visual elements like a swinging pendulum. Musicians, dancers, athletes, and other professionals use metronomes during practice to develop better timing and the ability to maintain a steady, consistent tempo.

A type of metronome was among the inventions of the Andalusian polymath Abbas ibn Firnas (810–887). In 1815, the German inventor Johann Maelzel patented a mechanical, wind-up metronome as a tool for musicians, under the title "Instrument/Machine for the Improvement of all Musical Performance, called Metronome". In the 20th century, electronic metronomes and software metronomes were invented.
