La carne artificial o carne cultivada, también conocida como carne in vitro, es aquella carne animal que no proviene directamente del cuerpo de un animal (como órgano muscular nunca ha formado parte de un animal); sino que ella proviene del cultivo de las células musculares extraídas previamente de animales.

Los términos «carne sintética» y «carne artificial» pueden aludir a ambas.

Cultured meat, also called synthetic meat, cell-cultured meat, clean meat, and in vitro meat, is meat grown in cell culture instead of inside animals. It is a form of cellular agriculture.

The first cultured beef burger patty, created by Dr. Mark Post at Maastricht University, was eaten at a demonstration for the press in London in August 2013.
