Der Speer (auch Wurfspieß) ist eine zu den Stangenwaffen zählende Wurf- und Stichwaffe, die aufgrund ihrer Konstruktion besonders gut zum Werfen geeignet ist. Es gibt verschiedene Versionen, die aus Stein, Knochen, Holz oder Metall bestehen. Als Sportgerät sind sie bis heute in Gebrauch. Sie gehören zu den ältesten von Menschen verwendeten Kampf- und Jagdwaffen. Älteste steinerne Speerspitzen-Funde sind eine halbe Million Jahre alt.
