Edutainment (or Edu-tainment) is a 20th century term that broadly refers to any process or intervention that seeks to teach someone something while simultaneously entertaining them. This includes performances, music and visual media.

It has become a substantial element of professional theatre and performance practice. According to the Cambridge Business English Dictionary, the market for edutainment software is growing at about 30% a year.

The verb "to edutain" has since also come into use.
