In geometry a polygon is geometrically a plane figure that is bounded by a closed path or circuit, composed of a finite sequence of straight line segments (i.e., by a closed polygonal chain). These segments are known as its edges or sides, and the points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices or corners. The interior of the polygon is sometimes called its body. A polygon is a 2-dimensional example of the more common polytope in any number of dimensions.

The word "polygon" derives from the Greek ("many") and (gōnia), meaning "knee" or "angle". Today a polygon is usually understood in terms of sides.
