खिलौना ऐसी किसी भी वस्तु को कहा जा सकता है जिस से खेलकर आनंद हो। खिलौनों को अक्सर बच्चों से सम्बंधित समझा जाता है लेकिन बड़े लोग भी इनका प्रयोग करते हैं। भारत में खिलौनों का प्रयोग अति-प्राचीन है और सिन्धु घाटी सभ्यता के खंडहरों से भी यह प्राप्त हुए हैं।

A toy or plaything is an object that is used primarily to provide entertainment. Simple examples include toy blocks, board games, and dolls. Toys are often designed for use by children, although many are designed specifically for adults and pets. Toys can provide utilitarian benefits, including physical exercise, cultural awareness, or academic education. Additionally, utilitarian objects, especially those which are no longer needed for their original purpose, can be used as toys. Examples include children building a fort with empty cereal boxes and tissue paper spools, or a toddler playing with a broken TV remote control. The term "toy" can also be used to refer to utilitarian objects purchased for enjoyment rather than need, or for expensive necessities for which a large fraction of the cost represents its ability to provide enjoyment to the owner, such as luxury cars, high-end motorcycles, gaming computers, and flagship smartphones.
