激光笔（Laser pointer），又称为激光指示器、指星笔等，是把可见激光设计成便携、手易握、激光模块（二极管）加工成的笔型发射器。常见的激光指示器有红光(650-660nm, 635nm)、绿光(515-520nm, 532nm)、蓝光(445-450nm)和蓝紫光(405nm)等，功率通常以毫瓦为单位。通常在会报、教学、导赏人员都会使用它来投映一个光点或一条光线指向物体，但激光会伤害到眼睛，任何情况下都不应该让激光直射眼睛。

A laser pointer or laser pen is a small handheld device with a power source (usually a battery) and a laser diode emitting a very narrow coherent low-powered laser beam of visible light, intended to be used to highlight something of interest by illuminating it with a small bright spot of colored light. Power is restricted in most jurisdictions not to exceed 5 mW.
