眼镜角色，是指艺术作品中戴着眼镜、并以此为特征的角色。阅听者可以透过有没有配戴眼镜来轻易地辨识这个角色特征。

眼镜是矫正势力的工具，因此戴着眼镜的脚色会给人一种认真学习的形象，眼镜进而成为知性的象征。戴眼镜的角色通常冷静、理性而且知识丰富，但也有反其道而行的设置。

为了强调此形象，部分的眼镜角色配戴的是特别厚的「瓶底眼镜」(眼镜的镜片上有螺旋图案)，亦或是让眼镜的镜片始终处于反光的状态，以至于看不到角色的眼睛。这种角色在拿下眼镜后通常会判若两人。

Meganekko(メガネっ娘) (メガネ, also めがね or 眼鏡, pronounced megane ("glasses") and ko for "child" (子) but using the kanji for "daughter" (娘)) is a Japanese word which translates to "glasses(-wearing) girl". It is used in its most straightforward way to describe people (female) where wearing glasses can be considered one of their characteristics. It is also often used in anime and manga fandom to refer to female characters who wear glasses, especially when it is considered their most attractive trait. However, it does not automatically mean that the female would not be considered attractive without the glasses. Their usage may or may not have anything to do with a character's eyesight, and they are often a "neutral" costume not as closely associated with more obvious fetishes such as meido (maid) or seifuku (school uniform). They sometimes have the connotations of geekish or bookish behavior, but in a complimentary fashion. A stereotypical example would be Miyuki Takara from the manga Lucky Star.
