A leaflet in botany is a leaf-like part of a compound leaf.

Compound leaves are common in many plant families and they differ widely in morphology. The two main classes of compound leaf morphology are palmate and pinnate. For example, a hemp plant has palmate compound leaves, whereas some species of Acacia have pinnate leaves. Compound palmate leaf of hemp The entire leaf of a Bay Laurel Pinnate leaf of an Acacia with 8 leaflets Mimosa pudica folding leaflets inward.
