Canis familiaris Linnaeus, 1758

イヌ（犬、狗、学名：Canis lupus familiaris、ラテン語名：canis、英名：dog、domestic dog）は、食肉目イヌ科イヌ属に分類される哺乳類の一種である。属名 Canis、種小名 lupus はラテン語でそれぞれ「犬」「狼」の意。亜種名 familiaris はラテン語で、「家庭に属する」といった意味である。広義には、イヌ科動物全般を指すこともある（後述）。 ヒトが最も早くに家畜化した動物と考えられており、猟犬や番犬・牧羊犬・軍用犬・警察犬・盲導犬として広く使役され、ネコと並ぶ代表的な愛玩動物（ペット）として世界中で広く飼われている。また品種改良が盛んに行われ、多様な犬種がいる。 人の管理を離れて野生化したイヌは野犬（野良犬）と呼ぶ。
