简笔人物画（或称火柴人图、单线条画、棒线画、人物线条画）是指一种仅仅以一些直线、曲线和点构成的简单的人或动物图形。在一个简笔人物画中，所绘画的图形的头部通常会以一个圆形表示，而其头部有时候会以一些面部细节点缀，如眼睛、嘴、粗略地描绘的头发等。简笔人物的手臂、腿部、以及躯干会以直线表示，而这些部位的细节，如手部、脚部、脖子等则有时候会存在。

简笔人物的涂鸦在人类历史中曾出现过，且经常绘于硬质表面，如岩石或混凝土墙上以壁画的形式出现。在电影中，简笔人物亦不时被用于绘制连图板中。

A stick figure is a very simple drawing of a person or animal, composed of a few lines, curves, and dots. In a stick figure, the head is represented by a circle, sometimes embellished with details such as eyes, mouth or crudely scratched-out hair. The arms, legs and torso are usually represented by straight lines. Details such as hands, feet and a neck may be present or absent, and the simpler stick figures display an ambiguous emotional expression.
