{{Short description|Concept in Lacanian thought}}
The '''matheme''' ({{langx|fr|mathème}}, from {{langx|el|μάθημα}} "lesson") is a concept introduced in the work of the 20th century [[France|French]] [[psychoanalyst]] [[Jacques Lacan]]. The term matheme "occurred for the first time in the lecture Lacan delivered on November 4th, 1971 [...] Between 1972 and 1973 he gave several definitions of it, passing from the use of the singular to the use of the plural and back again".<ref>Ėlisabeth Roudinesco, ''Jacques Lacan'' (1997) p. 360</ref>
