铃鼓（Tambourine），亦可称为摇鼓。鼓框为圆形，直径由8吋至14吋不等，以木或金属制造，并且镶有多组金属片。当敲打乐器时，同时令金属片互相撞击而发出近以马铃的声音，因而得名。

铃鼓的其中一边鼓面可以模上鼓膜。鼓膜主要由动物皮（羊皮或牛皮）所做成，亦有使用塑胶鼓膜。虽然现时大部份的鼓类乐器都已改用塑胶鼓膜，不过由于铃鼓有一种独特的演奏方法，是以湿的姆指在鼓膜上磨擦而发出碎而密集的铃声，这种方法在动物皮鼓膜的效果远比塑胶鼓膜为佳，因此至今仍然被保留下来。

The tambourine is a musical instrument in the percussion family consisting of a frame, often of wood or plastic, with pairs of small metal jingles, called "zils". Classically the term tambourine denotes an instrument with a drumhead, though some variants may not have a head at all. Tambourines are often used with regular percussion sets. They can be mounted, but position is largely down to preference.
