The word classical has several meanings:
Culture
- Classical antiquity and the study of "the classics", refers to the culture of Ancient Greece or Rome
- "Classical Chinese" or "classical Indian" culture refers to a perceived apex in the development of a society or of its arts
- "Classical French" culture refers specifically to the 18th century, rather than Ancient Greece or Rome. This causes confusions in translation.

- Classical music, traditional Western music styles during the Classical music era
- See: Classical music (disambiguation) for music traditions in other cultures
- Classical dance, or ballet
