蠍子(學名:Scorpiones)是一種有8隻腳的掠食性蛛形綱節肢動物,具有一對可固定獵物的鉗足與細長且分節的尾,尾部末端為帶有毒液的蜇針(英语:stinger)。蠍子的體長約在9 mm(0.35英寸)(Typhlochactas mitchelli(英语:Typhlochactas mitchelli))至23 cm(9.1英寸)(紅爪雨林蠍)之間。 最早的蠍子出現於4億3千萬年前的志留紀,在南極洲以外的所有大陸均有分布,目前現存在蠍目底下有13科共約1750種。 所有的蠍子都具有毒針,但大部分的物種均不對人類造成威脅,甚至在被叮後不需要接受任何醫療支援。目前已知僅有25種蠍子的毒液會對人類生命造成威脅。
