Reticulum is a small, faint constellation in the southern sky whose name comes from the Latin word for a small net or reticle, referring to the crosshair pattern used in telescopes to measure star positions. The constellation is best observed between October and December and is mostly invisible to observers north of the 30th parallel north, except for one main star that may be visible under ideal conditions.

Il Reticolo (in latino Reticulum, abbreviato in Ret) è una delle 88 costellazioni moderne. Si tratta di una costellazione minore dell'emisfero sud, posta ad una declinazione di circa -60°; venne introdotta da Lacaille per ricordare l'omonimo strumento di misurazione di posizioni ed angoli tra le stelle.
