Água-forte é uma modalidade de gravura que é feita usando uma matriz de metal, normalmente de ferro, zinco, cobre, alumínio ou latão. A matriz é uma placa metálica, onde é gravado um desenho ou uma impressão fotográfica. O papel é levemente humedecido e a impressão pode ser monocromática (tradicionalmente) ou a cores.
