'''Plastic wrap''' is a thin plastic film typically used for sealing food items in containers to keep them fresh. Plastic wrap, typically sold on rolls in boxes with a cutting edge, clings to many smooth surfaces and can thus remain tight over the opening of a container with no adhesive or other devices. Common plastic wrap is roughly 0.01 mm thick.

Plastic wrap is known as '''cling-film''' in the United Kingdom and '''cling wrap''' in Australia and the United States. Commonly known brands of plastic wrap in the U.S. include '''Saran wrap''', '''Glad wrap''' and '''Stretch-Tite'''. In Australia and New Zealand, '''Glad wrap''' is the leading brand, known well enough to make its manufacturer concerned about its name becoming a genericised trademark. In Canada, '''Saran wrap''' is the genericized trademark.

One of the more recent innovations is perforated plastic wrap.
===Cling film and food safety===
The United Kingdom Food Standards Agency advises:
* Do not use cling films where they may melt into the food, such as in [[conventional ovens]] or with pots and pans on cooker hobs.
* When reheating or cooking food in a [[microwave oven]] ensure that the cling film does not touch the food.
* Only use cling film in contact with high [[fat]] foods when the manufacturer's advice states it is suitable for this. Examples of high fat foods include some types of [[cheese]], raw meats with a layer of fat, fried meats, [[pastry]] products, and cakes with [[butter]] icing or [[chocolate]] coatings.
