A tooth is a hard, calcified structure in the jaws of many vertebrates that primarily breaks down food, though some animals also use teeth to capture prey, tear food, or defend themselves. Teeth are made of multiple tissues of varying density rather than bone, with their roots covered by gums.

歯(は、英: tooth)は、口腔内にある咀嚼するための一番目の器官。 多くの脊椎動物が持つ。ヒトは乳歯と永久歯の二組を持つが(二生歯性)、ネズミ目のように一組の歯が伸び続ける動物もいれば(一生歯性)、サメのように、二週間に一組ずつ新しい歯が作られていく動物もいる(多生歯性)。化石化した哺乳類においてもっとも特徴的な部位であり、古生物学者達は化石の種類や関係を鑑別するのにしばしば歯を使う。 歯は摂食の際の重要な構造であり、その形は餌のタイプと強く結びついている。
