Pirat (łac. pirata z gr. πειρατής peiratēs [a]) – przestępca prowadzący rozbój na morzu lub nabrzeżu, przy wykorzystaniu statku lub łodzi. Najczęściej celem ataków piratów padają inne statki. Pirat często mylony jest z korsarzem, który prowadził legalne działania wojenne w imieniu władcy na podstawie listu kaperskiego.
