Heather may be:
- In botany, the plant Calluna vulgaris, or, more loosely, various species of the closely related genera Erica and Cassiope, low evergreen shrubs (also called "heaths"). The term is also used to describe land which is vegetated with these plants.
- In apparel or textiles, interwoven yarns with a flecked grayish color, from their resemblance to a field of Heather.
- A popular feminine forename, named after the plant. The film Heathers takes its name from this forename.
- A well known print by William R Symonds.
