Necking can refer to:
- Making out, a term for heavy kissing of the neck or petting of that area
- Necking (engineering), the process by which a ductile material deforms under tension forming a thin neck
- Necking, a behavior of giraffes
- Necking up or necking down, methods of modifying a firearm cartridge to make a wildcat cartridge
Necking, in engineering or materials science, is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large amounts of strain localize disproportionately in a small region of the material. The resulting prominent decrease in local cross-sectional area provides the basis for the name "neck". Because the local strains in the neck are large, necking is often closely associated with yielding, a form of plastic deformation associated with ductile materials, often metals or polymers.
