   A postcard or post card is a piece of thick paper or thin cardboard, typically rectangular, intended for writing and mailing without an envelope. Non-rectangular shapes may also be used but are rare. There are novelty exceptions, such as wooden postcards, copper postcards sold in the Copper Country of the U.S. state of Michigan, and coconut "postcards" from tropical islands.

While a postcard is usually printed by a private company, individual or organization, a postal card is issued by the relevant postal authority. The United States Postal Service defines a postcard as: rectangular, at least 3+¹⁄2 inches high × 5 inches long × 0.007 inches thick and no more than 4+¹⁄4 inches high × 6 inches long × 0.016 inches thick. However, some postcards have deviated from this. The study and collecting of postcards is termed deltiology.
