Pitch may refer to:

Acoustic frequency

Pitch (music), the perceived frequency of sound including "definite pitch" and "indefinite pitch"
- Absolute pitch or "perfect pitch"
- Pitch class, a set of all pitches that are a whole number of octaves apart
- Relative pitch, the ability to identify a given musical interval between two notes
Pitch accent, a form of accentuation in speech

Business

Sales pitch, a line of talk that attempts to persuade someone or something
- Pitch (filmmaking), a proposal for a film
- Elevator pitch, a very short sales presentation, allegedly short enough to be made during an elevator ride

Measurement

Movement about the transverse axis

Pitch angle (or pitch rotation), one of the angular degrees of freedom of any stiff body (for example a vehicle), describing rotation about the side-to-side axis
- Pitch (aviation), one of the aircraft principal axes of rotation (nose-up or nose-down angle measured from horizontal axis)
- Pitch (ship motion), one of the ship motions' principal axes of rotation (bow-up or bow-down angle measured from horizontal axis)
Pitch-up, an uncommanded nose-upwards aerodynamical rotation of an aircraft.

Angle measurement

Pitch or grade (slope), the steepness of a slope or an object confirming to a slope
- Roof pitch relates to the slope and inclination angle
Pitch, or rake, in geology, the angle between a line and the strike of the plane on which it was found

Electromagnetism

Pitch angle (particle motion), the angle between a charged particle's velocity vector and the local magnetic field

Mechanical engineering

Pitch angle (engineering), the angle between a bevel gears' element of a pitch cone and its axis

Linear measurement

"Pitch" is widely used to describe the distance between repeated elements in a structure possessing translational symmetry:

Pitch (gear), the distance between a point on one tooth and the corresponding point on an adjacent tooth
Pitch (screw) the distance between turns of a screw thread
- Blade pitch the distance between the front edge and the rear edge of a propeller blade
- Pitch, the distance between passes in the helical scanning pattern of X-ray computed tomography
Pitch (typewriter), the number of characters and spaces in one inch (25.4 mm) of running text
Pitch, the distance between bits in a parallel integrated circuit element such as a register file
Dot pitch in images
Pin pitch, the distance between centers of pins in electronics packaging
Seat pitch, the spacing between seat rows in an aircraft

Arts, entertainment, and media

Pitch (film)
Pitch (TV series)
Pitch up, a hardstyle track by Coone & Ghost
Pitch Weekly, a free urban weekly newspaper in Kansas City

Plants

Pitch (resin), a viscous substance produced by plants or formed from petroleum
Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida), trees

Sports and recreation

Pitch (climbing), a term used in climbing and also caving
Pitch (baseball), a throw of a baseball from a pitcher to the catcher(s)
Pitch (card game) (or "High, or Low Jack"), an American trick-taking card game
Pitch (sports field), a field of play and is usually outdoors
The bounce of a cricket ball
Pitch, a lateral pass in gridiron football
