Intaglio refers to a number of techniques in art, applied to many different materials, which all have in common that the image is created by cutting, carving or engraving into a flat surface, as opposed to a relief, where the image is what is left when the background has been cut away to leave the image above the background. The term may also refer to objects made using these techniques:
- Intaglio (printmaking), a group of printmaking techniques with an incised image
- Intaglio (jewellery), similar techniques in jewelry (most likely meaning for "an intaglio")
- Intaglio (sculpture) is also known as sunken-relief
- Intaglio (burial mound), a similar technique for decorating burial mounds with geoglyphs
- Blythe Intaglios, large Native American designs on the ground in California
- In wood carving, more correctly known in English as Inlay
Intaglio may also be:
- Intaglio, the annual international business school meet of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta
