El sitar (urdu:ستار, hindi: सितार, bengalí: সেতার, persa: سی‌تار ) es un instrumento musical tradicional de la India y Pakistán, de cuerda pulsada originario de la India semejante a la guitarra, el laúd o el banyo pero con el mástil más grande. Se identifica por su sonido metalizado y sus glissandos. El sitar es un instrumento versátil con sonido delicado y brillante, apropiado para expresar el lento desarrollo de los ragas, así como para servir a la interpretación virtuosa.
