Screenprinting, or serigraphy, is a printmaking technique that traditionally creates a sharp-edged single-color image using a stencil and a porous fabric. A screenprint or serigraph is an image created using this technique.

It began as an industrial technology, and was adopted by American graphic artists in the 1930s; the Pop Art movement of the 1960s further popularized the technique. Many of Andy Warhol's most famous works were created using the technique. It is currently popular both in fine arts and in small-scale commercial printing, where it is commonly used to put images on T-shirts, hats, ceramics, glass, polyethylene, polypropylene, paper, metals, and wood. Today, this service has been adapted for the web and there are many companies featuring online printing and quoting services.

In electronics, the term screenprinting or screenprinting legend often refers to the writing on a printed circuit board. Screenprinting printing may also be used in the process of etching the copper wiring on the board.
