Lassi (pronounced [ləsːi]) is a yogurt–based beverage with a smoothie-like consistency. The word 'lassi' means yogurt mixed with water in Punjabi and Hindi-Urdu.

Lassi is prepared by blending yogurt, water, and spices. In Punjab where the drink originated, the yogurt is traditionally made from water buffalo milk. Variations of lassi exist, such as by adding salt, cumin or cardamom. Lassi is traditionally served in a clay cup known as kulhar. In the 21st century, lassi is commonly consumed in many world regions.
