A triptych is a work of art, typically a panel painting, divided into three sections that can be hinged together and folded shut or displayed open, with the middle panel usually being the largest. The form was historically important in religious art and remains notable as a distinctive multi-panel artistic structure that can also be adapted for other media like jewelry.

Un triptyque (du grec τρίπτυχος / tríptukhos, « triple, plié en trois ») est — dans le domaine des beaux-arts — une œuvre peinte ou sculptée en trois panneaux, dont les deux volets extérieurs peuvent se refermer sur celui du milieu. Ce format se développe essentiellement aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles, dans le cadre des retables, la peinture religieuse en Europe. Les triptyques entrent dans la famille plus large des tableaux polyptyques.
