浆果是果实的一种类型，属于单果，常见于分属于不同科属的多种植物，例如茄科的番茄、茄子、马铃薯、青椒、香蕉、忍冬科的忍冬、葡萄科的葡萄等。浆果的外果皮较薄，中果皮和内果皮则肉质多汁较为发达。浆果的一枚果实中常有许多种子。浆果的萼片宿存，与果蒂相连接。浆果一般由多心皮合生雌蕊发育而成，偶见由单心皮发育的浆果，因此在浆果中常可以观察到若干格室。

注意：尽管英文中的“浆果”拼作“Berry”，但是草莓（Strawberry）、杨梅（Bayberry）、黑莓（Blackberry）等并不是浆果，而是聚合果。

In everyday language, a berry is a small, pulpy and often edible fruit. Berries are usually juicy, rounded, brightly colored, sweet or sour, and do not have a stone or pit, although many pips or seeds may be present. Common examples are strawberries, raspberries, blueberries; and red- and blackcurrants. In Britain soft fruit is a horticultural term for such fruits.
