The peritoneum ( /ˌpɛrɨtənˈiəm/) is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity or the coelom—it covers most of the intra-abdominal (or coelomic) organs—in amniotes and some invertebrates (annelids, for instance). It is composed of a layer of mesothelium supported by a thin layer of connective tissue. The peritoneum both supports the abdominal organs and serves as a conduit for their blood and lymph vessels and nerves.

The abdominal cavity (the space bounded by the vertebrae, abdominal muscles, diaphragm and pelvic floor) should not be confused with the intraperitoneal space (located within the abdominal cavity, but wrapped in peritoneum). For example, a kidney is inside the abdominal cavity, but is retroperitoneal.
Although they ultimately form one continuous sheet, two types or layers of peritoneum and a potential space between them are referenced:
There are two main regions of the peritoneum, connected by the epiploic foramen (also known as the Omental Foramen or Foramen of Winslow):
The mesentery is the part of the peritoneum through which most abdominal organs are attached to the abdominal wall and supplied with blood and lymph vessels and nerves.
Structures include:
| SOURCES | STRUCTURE | FROM | TO | CONTAINS |
| OMENTA | ||||
| dorsal mesentery | * greater omentum | greater curvature of stomach (and spleen) | transverse colon | |

In addition, in the pelvic cavity there are several structures that are usually named not for the peritoneum, but for the areas defined by the peritoneal folds:
| Name | Location | Genders possessing structure |
| Rectovesical pouch | between rectum and urinary bladder | male only |
| Rectouterine pouch | between rectum and uterus | female only |
| Vesicouterine pouch | between urinary bladder and uterus | female only |
| Pararectal fossa | surrounding rectum | male and female |
| Paravesical fossa | surrounding urinary bladder | male and female |
The peritoneum develops ultimately from the mesoderm of the trilaminar embryo. As the mesoderm differentiates, one region known as the lateral plate mesoderm splits to form two layers separated by an intraembryonic coelom. These two layers develop later into the visceral and parietal layers found in all serous cavities, including the peritoneum.
As an embryo develops, the various abdominal organs grow into the abdominal cavity from structures in the abdominal wall. In this process they become enveloped in a layer of peritoneum. The growing organs "take their blood vessels with them" from the abdominal wall, and these blood vessels become covered by peritoneum, forming a mesentery.
In one form of dialysis, called peritoneal dialysis, a glucose solution is sent through a tube into the peritoneal cavity. The fluid is left there for a prescribed amount of time to absorb waste products, and then removed through the tube. The reason for this effect is the high number of arteries and veins in the peritoneal cavity. Through the mechanism of diffusion, waste products are removed from the blood.
The structures in the abdomen are classified as intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal or infraperitoneal depending on whether they are covered with visceral peritoneum and whether they are attached by mesenteries (mensentery, mesocolon).
| Intraperitoneal | Retroperitoneal | Infraperitoneal / Subperitoneal |
| Stomach, First part of the duodenum [5 cm], fourth part of the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, appendix, transverse colon, sigmoid colon, Rectum (upper 1/3) | The rest of the duodenum, ascending colon, descending colon, Rectum (middle 1/3) | Rectum (lower 1/3) |
| Liver, Spleen, Pancreas (only tail) | Pancreas (except tail) | |
| Kidneys, adrenal glands, proximal ureters, renal vessels | Urinary bladder, distal ureters | |
| In women: Uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries | Gonadal blood vessels | |
| Inferior vena cava, Aorta |
Structures that are intraperitoneal are generally mobile, while those that are retroperitoneal are relatively fixed in their location.
Some structures, such as the kidneys, are "primarily retroperitoneal", while others such as the majority of the duodenum, are "secondarily retroperitoneal", meaning that structure developed intraperitoneally but lost its mesentery and thus became retroperitoneal.
Peritoneum is derived from Greek via Latin. Peri- means around, while -ton- refers to stretching. Thus, peritoneum means stretched around or stretched over.
