A perforated septum is a medical condition whereby the septum, the cartilaginous membrane dividing the nostrils, develops a hole or fissure.

This may be brought on directly, as in the case of nasal piercings, or indirectly, as by long-term cocaine use or chronic epistaxis. Rhinoplasty, if performed improperly, often results in a perforated or collapsed septum.
