A bay window is a multi-panel window that projects outward in front of the external wall space of a building. This outward projection forms a bay or interior recess and is supported by a sill height wall. Bay windows are typically rectangular or polygonal, and the most common internal angles are 90°, 135° and 150°.

Bay windows are a prominent feature of Victorian domestic architecture but were originally incorporated in designs during the English Renaissance period. The reasons for designing bay windows are as a means of making a room appear larger, as well as providing better views and admitting more natural light than a window which was flush with the wall line.

In modern architecture, bay windows underwent a revival to become a characteristic feature of the Chicago School. Today, bay windows can be found in all types of domestic architecture as well as in apartment buildings.

There are several variations, including:

* Canted: A bay window with a flat front and angled sides.
* Bow: A bay window which is curved or arc-shaped.
* Oriel window: This is a bay window found on an upper floor, typically supported from below by a corbel or bracket. This type of window allows the floor space to be extended without the dimensions of the foundation needing to be changed.
* Mashrabiya: Highly decorative enclosed balconies that are characteristic of Arab architecture.
