Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles or other gear designed to protect either the wearer's body or other items of clothing from electrical hazards, heat, chemicals and infection. PPE can also be used to protect the working environment from pollution or infection from the worker, for example in a microchip factory. The protection may also be important in both ways, as with the use of disposable gloves by surgeons and dentists.

Protective clothing is also worn for contact sports, such as ice hockey and American football. Baseball players wear sliding shorts and a cup under their pants. See baseball uniform, Goalie mask, jockstrap.

Personal protective equipment extends to body armor such as bullet-proof vests, historical armor and futuristic powered armor. In UK legislation the term PPE does not cover such items as armor.
