Legato (en italiano, "ligado") en notación musical es un signo de articulación representado mediante la ligadura de expresión o ligadura de articulación, que indica un modo de ejecución de un grupo notas musicales de diferentes alturas. Las notas afectadas se deben interpretar sin articular una separación entre ellas mediante la interrupción del sonido. La técnica interpretativa variará en función del instrumento musical que deba ejecutar el signo de articulación.

In music performance and notation, legato [leˈɡaːto] (Italian for "tied together"; French lié; German gebunden) indicates that musical notes are played or sung smoothly and connected. That is, the player makes a transition from note to note with no intervening silence. Legato technique is required for slurred performance, but unlike slurring (as that term is interpreted for some instruments), legato does not forbid rearticulation. Standard notation indicates legato either with the word legato, or by a slur (a curved line) under notes that form one legato group. Legato, like staccato, is a kind of articulation. There is an intermediate articulation called either mezzo staccato or non-legato (sometimes referred to as "portato").
