萨克斯风（英语：Saxophone）是一种木管乐器，但是管体通常是用黄铜制造，使得萨克斯风同时具有铜管类乐器的特性，这也导致了在归类上令不少人产生疑惑。由于从发声原理上来看，萨克斯风和同样使用单簧片的单簧管相同，所以便将它归类为木管乐器。萨克斯风同时也是一种移调乐器，常见调性为E♭和B♭，也有C调和F调。中音萨克斯风以其烟斗状的外形为人所熟知。

萨克斯风在近代对西洋音乐产生了重大的影响，尤其是对于爵士乐；1960年代开始直至现在，萨克斯风的独奏演奏家大量涌现，流行于世界各地。而萨克斯风演奏家至此成为与钢琴演奏家，小提琴演奏家地位一致，是作曲家以及其他形式的音乐家创作的首选乐器之一；并且拥有大量听众乐迷的主流乐器之一。

The saxophone (also referred to as the sax) is a family of woodwind instruments. Saxophones are usually made of brass and played with a single-reed mouthpiece similar to that of the clarinet. The saxophone family was invented by the Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax in 1840. Adolphe Sax wanted to create a group or series of instruments that would be the most powerful and vocal of the woodwinds, and the most adaptive of the brass instruments, that would fill the vacant middle ground between the two sections. He patented the saxophone on June 28, 1846, in two groups of seven instruments each. Each series consisted of instruments of various sizes in alternating transposition. The series pitched in B♭ and E♭, designed for military bands, have proved extremely popular and most saxophones encountered today are from this series. Instruments from the so-called "orchestral" series, pitched in C and F, never gained a foothold, and the B♭ and E♭ instruments have now replaced the C and F instruments when the saxophone is used in the orchestra.
