A transparent object is one that can be seen through, see optics. The meanings of transparency below are derived from or metaphorically related to transparency (optics).

Concerning the properties of digital images, see overlay translucency and transparency in PNG, GIF or TIFF files, as well as alpha compositing
As a metaphor implying visibility, see transparency (humanities) (politics) and (linguistics)
With respect to engineering and computational design issues, see:
- pseudo-transparency or background translucency in the X or X11 Window System
- transparency (telecommunication) (US Federal and military definition standards)
- transparency (computing) (user and engineering design considerations)
- referential transparency (mathematics and programming)
- transparency (data compression)
Concerning governance or accountability, Transparency International is an organization working for transparency
Concerning economics, see market transparency
In audio-visual display technology, see transparency (overhead projector)
