Le crâne est une structure osseuse ou cartilagineuse de la tête, caractéristique des crâniates (dont font partie les vertébrés). Le rôle principal du crâne est de protéger le système nerveux central qu'il entoure, il sert aussi de points d'attache à des muscles du visage et du cou. Le crâne est composé de deux parties : le neurocrâne (ou boîte crânienne) et le splanchnocrâne (ou viscérocrâne, ou crâne facial). Certaines espèces possèdent aussi un dermocrâne, formé d'os dermiques. Le crâne est toujours cartilagineux chez l'embryon mais devient au moins partiellement ossifié chez l'adulte pour toute la lignée des Ostéichtyens (qui inclut l'Homme).
