The multiplication sign (×), also known as the times sign or the dimension sign, is a mathematical symbol used to denote the operation of multiplication, which results in a product.

The symbol is also used in botany, in botanical hybrid names.

The form is properly a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire. The multiplication sign × is similar to a lowercase X (x).
