A unitard is a skin-tight one-piece garment with long legs and sometimes long sleeves. It differs from a leotard in that a leotard does not have long legs.

Unitards are worn by acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, superheroes and circus performers, as well as others.

Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the rock band Queen, was known for wearing unitards and spandex during their concerts in the late 70's.

The term may also be used to refer to a wrestling singlet.
