Il sitar è uno strumento musicale a corde dell'India settentrionale; è lo strumento della musica classica indiana più conosciuto in Occidente.Il termine sitar deriva probabilmente dal termine persiano seh-tar, che letteralmente significa tre corde ed in effetti esiste uno strumento iraniano chiamato setar che presenta caratteristiche simili; entrambi derivano da una evoluzione della citara a sua volta derivante dalla lira, termine di origine persiana: " al'ūd (legno) e tar (corda).
