A '''nock''' is a recess into the end of an [[arrow]] or at the tip of a [[bow]]. The term is also applied to a structure that covers a section of an artefact and performs the same function, such as the [[horn]] nocks of the [[medieval]] [[longbow]].

Nocks in [[arrow]]s are [[termed]] ''self nocks'' if they are cut directly into the end of the shaft or stele. At times they may have also had a sliver of [[horn]] inserted into the end (crosswise to the nock) to act as a reinforcement to the shaft. [[Bronze]] nocks are known from [[Viking]] [[Hedeby]] but they are not common and thought to be possible the [[hunting]] arrows of a rich individual and should be thought typical.

Nocks in [[bow]]s might be cut into the side of the [[limb]] on one or both sides or they might be made in horn and attached to the end of the limb.

The term '''nock''' is also used to describe the action of placing an [[arrow]] on the [[string]] of a [[bow]] so that the string fits inside the nock itself.
