A '''hanging scroll''' is one of the many traditional ways to display and exhibit East Asian painting and [[calligraphy]]. They are different from [[handscroll]]s, which are narrower and designed to be viewed flat on a table.

Hanging scrolls are generally intended to be displayed for short periods of time, after which they are rolled up and tied for storage.<ref name=lee/><ref name=met>{{cite web|title=A Look at Chinese Painting|url=http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/Chinese/html_pages/glossary.htm#thirty
