En ce qui concerne l'anatomie de l'ongle, un ongle est une partie dure et insensible du doigt ou de l'orteil d'un animal. C'est un phanère terminal kératinisé, homologue de la griffe ou du sabot. Le terme «ongle» désigne plus particulièrement la forme plate que l'on retrouve chez les primates dont l'être humain.
