Silt is a fine granular material made mostly of broken quartz grains, sized between sand and clay, that can occur as soil or suspended in water and feels floury when dry. It matters because understanding silt's properties—including how it behaves when wet or dry—is important for soil science, construction, water management, and other practical applications.

シルト（英: silt）あるいは日本語で沈泥（ちんでい）とは、砂より小さく粘土より粗い砕屑物のこと。地質学では、泥（粒径が1/16mm以下のもの）の中で、粘土（粒径が1/256mm以下）より粒が大きく粗いもの（粒径1/16mm - 1/256mm）をシルトと呼ぶ。 シルトが続成作用によって堆積岩になったものをシルト岩という。
