The term "Other" primarily refers to a fundamental concept in philosophy and psychology concerning the perception of self versus that which is different. Beyond this, "The Other" or "Other" also serves as a title or identifier for a remarkably diverse range of cultural artifacts and entities spanning over a century. This includes numerous films, from the 1913 German silent film to a planned American release in 2025, and a host of literary works such as Tom Tryon's 1971 horror novel and Jorge Luis Borges' 1972 short story.

In music, it denotes a German horror punk band and albums by artists like Alison Moyet (2017) and Lustmord (2008). Additionally, "Other" appears as a human name, notably Othoere, a contemporary of Alfred the Great, and in practical applications such as the defunct New York City record store Other Music or the "OtherOS" feature on early PlayStation 3 consoles.
