Un sex simbol este o celebritate considerată de către o mare parte a publicului drept atractivă din punct de vedere sexual. Expresia provine din engleză, unde se scrie cu y în loc de i: sex symbol. Ocupația persoanei respective poate fi de actor, muzician, sportiv etc. Uneori sunt considerate sex simboluri unele personaje din jocurile video (de exemplu, Tomb Raider).
