The term '''latency''' can refer to multiple concepts:
* Latency_(engineering), a time delay between the moment something is initiated, and the moment its first effect begins.
* Latency (child sexuality), a psychoanalytic phase, extending from roughly age seven to twelve, during which sexuality is repressed or sublimated (now more commonly called "middle childhood" and "prepubescence").
