Lamina may refer to:
- Lamina of the vertebral archLamina of the vertebral archThe laminæ are two broad plates, extending dorsally and medially from the pedicles, fusing to complete the roof of the vertebral arch.Their upper borders and the lower parts of their anterior surfaces are rough for the attachment of the ligamenta flava....
- Planar lamina, a two-dimensional planar closed surface with mass and density, in mathematics
- Lamina face, a faceFace (geometry)In geometry, a face of a polyhedron is any of the polygons that make up its boundaries. For example, any of the squares that bound a cube is a face of the cube...
sharing all edgeEdge (geometry)In geometry, an edge is a one-dimensional line segment joining two adjacent zero-dimensional vertices in a polygon. Thus applied, an edge is a connector for a one-dimensional line segment and two zero-dimensional objects....

- Lamina (algae)Lamina (algae)A Lamina in the algae is a generally flattened structure which typically forms the principal bulk of macroscopic plants. It is often developed into specialised organs such as flotation bladders and reproductive organs....
, a structure in seaweeds - Basal laminaBasal laminaThe basal lamina is a layer of extracellular matrix secreted by the epithelial cells, on which the epithelium sits. It is often confused with the basement membrane, and sometimes used inconsistently in the literature, see below....
, a structure of a living cell - Nuclear laminaNuclear laminaThe nuclear lamina is a dense fibrillar network inside the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. It is composed of intermediate filaments and membrane associated proteins. Besides providing mechanical support, the nuclear lamina regulates important cellular events such as DNA replication and cell division...
, another structure of a living cell - The flat part of a leafLeafA leaf is an organ of a vascular plant, as defined in botanical terms, and in particular in plant morphology. Foliage is a mass noun that refers to leaves as a feature of plants....
, an organ of a plant. - A thin layer of sedimentSedimentSediment is naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of fluids such as wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particle itself....

- Lamination (geology)Lamination (geology)In geology, lamination is a small scale sequence of fine layers that occurs in sedimentary rocks. Lamination is normally smaller and less pronounced than bedding. Lamination is often regarded as every planar structure smaller than 1 cm, and bedding as every planar structure larger than that...
