Age can refer to:
- how old one is. See senescence article for detailed discussion.
- a district in Mie. See Age, Mie.
- a period of pre-history. See Three-age system.
As a term of jurisprudence, age or the defense of infancy can refer to a form of defense by which a defendant argues that, at the time a law was broken, they were not liable for their actions, and thus should not be held liable for a crime. Many courts recognize that defendants, which are considered to be juveniles, may avoid criminal prosecution on account of their age.
