Il maiale (Sus scrofa domesticus L.), chiamato anche suino o porco, è un suide addomesticato appartenente ai mammiferi dell'ordine artiodattili suiformi.Il maschio fertile si chiama verro, la femmina scrofa e i cuccioli lattonzoli; questi ultimi, in particolare, a loro volta si definiscono verretti se maschi o scrofette se femmine. Si tratta di uno tra gli animali da macello più diffusi e più utilizzati dall'uomo, anche in ragione dell'ampia gamma di sottoprodotti derivati, che vanno da articolatissime specifiche lavorazioni delle sue carni allo sfruttamento delle setole (da qui il detto "del maiale non si butta via niente").Il maiale domestico appartiene alla stessa specie del cinghiale (Sus scrofa) e può riprodursi con esso. Il termine maiale deriva dal latino majalem ("porco castrato"), così chiamato poiché era spesso utilizzato come sacrificio a Maia, madre di Mercurio.
