The Arts and Crafts movement is a major English aesthetic movement occurring in the last years of the 19th century. Inspired by the writings of John Ruskin it was at its height between approximately 1880–1910.

It was a reformist movement which influenced British decorative arts, architecture, cabinet making, crafts, and even the "cottage" garden designs of William Robinson or Gertrude Jekyll. Its best-known practitioners were William Morris, Charles Robert Ashbee, T. J. Cobden Sanderson, Walter Crane, Phoebe Anna Traquair, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Christopher Dresser, Edwin Lutyens, Nelson Dawson and artists in the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

In the United States, the term Arts and Crafts movement is often used to denote the style of interior design that prevailed between the dominant eras of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or roughly the period from 1910 to 1925. This article does not deal with the American usage of the term.
