The Licker is a series of recurring predatory mutants in the Resident Evil horror franchise, first introduced in the Resident Evil video game in 1996.

Lickers are the mutational form of zombies following the "Crimson head" stage, initially created and used by the Umbrella Corporation. Licker variants are many and make appearances as uncommon opponents in Resident Evil games, usually as a form of security, test subject, or hunter. Lickers have also appeared in other media and merchandise of the Resident Evil franchise, as well as in some unrelated games.

The "Licker" was originally a pet name given by the Raccoon City Police Department in reference to the creatures' long spear-like tongue.
