The girth of an object is a measurement around it. It is sometimes used by postal services and delivery companies as a basis for pricing. For example, Canada Post requires that an item's length plus girth not exceed a maximum allowed value.[1] For a rectangular box, the girth is 2 * (height + width), i.e. the perimeter of a cross section perpendicular to its length.
Girth may also refer to:
- Girth (tack), a piece of equipment used to keep the saddle in place on a horse.
- Girth (graph theory), the length of a shortest cycle contained in a graph.
- Girth (album), 1997 album by heavy metal band Winters Bane
