A foot (plural: feet; symbol or abbreviation: ft or, sometimes, ′ - a prime) is the name of a unit of length, in a number of different systems, including English units, Imperial units, and United States customary units. Its size can vary from system to system, but in each is around a quarter to a third of a meter. The most commonly used foot today is the international foot. There are 3 feet in a yard and 12 inches in a foot.

The foot is a common and popular unit of measurement in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. In the US and the UK, personal heights are expressed in feet and inches by people of all ages. In Canada, the trend has been shifitng towards metres, as shown on a person's driver's license. The foot is often used to measure distance.
