A distortion is the alteration of the original shape of an object, image, sound, waveform or other form of information or representation. Distortion is usually unwanted, and in practice there are many methods employed to minimize it.

The term is often used for the observation or impression as well, as in a distorted view of the world.

In some fields, distortion may be desirable. Such is the case with Electric Guitar distortion, which is the alteration of the sound waveform to add unique characteristics.
