Canvas is an exceptionally durable plain woven fabric, ideal for making sails, tents, marquees, backpacks, and other items requiring robust materials. It is also popular in fashion for handbags, electronic device cases, and shoes, and is favored by artists as a painting surface, typically stretched over a wooden frame. Unlike other heavy cotton fabrics such as denim, canvas features a plain weave. There are two main types of canvas: plain and duck, with duck canvas having more tightly woven threads. The term "duck" is derived from the Dutch word for cloth, "doek." In the United States, canvas is classified by weight (ounces per square yard) and a graded number system, where higher numbers indicate lighter weights.

Canvas has become the most prevalent support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels. Its use dates back to the 14th century in Italy, with one of the earliest surviving examples being a French Madonna with angels from around 1410, housed in the Gemaldegalerie, Berlin.
