Mitre is the term used to describe a joint in construction. An example is a joint that is formed when two pieces meet on a 90-degree angle and each piece has been cut at an angle of 45 degrees to be joined. A mitre joint can also be formed when two pieces meet at different angles than 90 degrees. A good example of a mitre joint can be seen in picture frames. A mitre joint is simply an angle joint.

An advantage of a mitred joint is that it allows for a neat finish and it will only show a line at the angle and the ends will be concealed. In woodwork, a mitre joint can be troublesome due to the swelling and shrinking properties of timber and it can cause the mitre to crack open from the inner corner.

Many different joints can be specified in joinery construction. Some of the common joints are:

* Butt joints.
* Lap joints.
* Mortise and tenon joints.
* Dowell joints.
* Tongue and groove joints.
* Dovetail joints.

Different joints have different strengths and aesthetic properties. Some joints are more complex to create than others and can be very time-consuming. A mitre joint can be relatively simple to create and not the most time-consuming in comparison to more complex joints like a dovetail or dowel joint.
