A motto is a phrase meant to formally describe the general motivation or intention of a social group or organization.

It can also refer to:

  • Epigraph (literature), a sentence, phrase, or word, prefixed to an essay, chapter, or the like, suggestive of its subject matter
  • Aphorism, a short, suggestive expression of a guiding principle
  • In music, a head-motif
  • A short quotation, joke, or an anecdotal message printed on a piece of paper inside a Christmas cracker
