Sund är ett relativt smalt farvatten mellan två landområden, antingen inom en sjö eller ett hav (som Kalmarsund mellan det svenska fastlandet och Öland) eller mellan två sjöar eller hav (som Öresund mellan Nordsjön och Östersjön).[1] Ett trängre sund kallas ofta nor. Ett sund där man far igenom med båt kallas också gatt.
I svenska ortnamn är delstavelser med sund mycket vanligt förekommande, även för platser som inte längre ligger vid något sund, till exempel Sundbyberg.[1]

STS059-238-074 Strait of Gibraltar.jpg
The Strait of Gibraltar provides a natural physical barrier between the countries of Spain (north) and Morocco (south). In geologic terms, the 10-mile (16-kilometer) strait that separates the two countries, as well as Europe and Africa, is located where the two major tectonic plates—the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate—collide. This high-oblique, northeast-looking photograph shows the mountainous northern coast of Morocco and the coastal mountains of southern Spain, including the dagger-shaped, snow-covered Sierra Nevada Mountains of southeastern Spain. The Guadalquivir River flows from east to west along the base of the Sierra Morena Mountains in southern Spain. The famous British city of Gibraltar is located on the wedge-shaped peninsula on the east side of the bay in the southernmost protrusion of Spain. The city of Ceuta is a Spanish enclave on the extreme northeastern coast of Morocco. Ceuta, a free port with a large harbor, has remained under Spanish control since 1580.
