Spanish Sign Language (Spanish: Lengua de signos o señas española, LSE) is a sign language used mainly by deaf people in Spain and the people who live with them.

There are small differences throughout Spain with no difficulties in intercommunication, except in Catalonia (Catalan Sign language) and in Valencia (Valencian Sign language). Some linguists consider both these and the Spanish Sign language three variants of a polymorphic sign language.
