The erection of the clitoris is its enlarged and firm state. It depends on a complex interaction of psychological, neural, vascular and endocrine factors. The term is also applied to the process that leads to this state.

Clitoral erection is a part of sexual arousal in women. The female clitoris is the anatomically homologous counterpart of penis, and the physiological mechanism of its erection is similar.
