La sardine (Sardina pilchardus) est une espèce de poissons de la famille des Alosidae (qui comprend également l'alose). Selon la région, elle prend les noms de célan, célerin, pilchard, royan, sarda, sardinyola ou magne. C'est la seule espèce du genre Sardina.
Sardine and pilchard are common names for various species of small, oily forage fish in the herring suborder Clupeoidei. The term "sardine" was first used in English during the early 15th century; a somewhat dubious etymology says it comes from the Italian island of Sardinia, around which sardines were once supposedly abundant. The terms "sardine" and "pilchard" are not precise, and what is meant depends on the region.
