[[सिख धर्म|''सिख धर्म'']] के अनुयायियों को '''सिख''' कहते हैं। इन्हें कभी-कभी [[सिख|सिक्ख]] भी लिखा जाता है। इनके पहले गुरू [[गुरु नानक|गुरू नानक देव जी]] हैं। [[गुरु ग्रन्थ साहिब|गुरु ग्रंथ साहिब]] सिखों का पवित्र ग्रन्थ है। इनके प्रार्थना स्थल को [[गुरुद्वारा]] कहते हैं। भारत की आर्थिक प्रगति में सिखों का बहुत बड़ा योगदान है। सिख शब्द संंस्कृृत के शिष्य का अपभ्रंश हैं।
