A '''master class''' is a [[Class (education)|class]] given to students of a particular [[Academic discipline|discipline]] by an expert of that discipline—usually music, but also science, painting, drama, games, or on any other occasion where skills are being developed.

"'''Masterclass'''" is also used in a figurative sense to describe a display of great skill in a context where education was not the primary intention; e.g., "his last few laps were a ''masterclass'' in overtaking" (referencing a race around a track).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/masterclass |title=MASTERCLASS &#124; meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary |publisher=Dictionary.cambridge.org |date=2022-05-25 |accessdate=2022-05-31}}</ref>
