Spatial intelligence is a type of intelligence that deals with spatial judgment and the ability to visualize with the minds eye). It is one of the nine intelligences on Howard Gardners theory of multiple intelligences, each of which is composed of a number of separate sub-capacities). Spatial intelligence provides the ability to imagine transformations of the orientation of objects and the ability to imagine the consequence of observer movements around arrays of objects). It is also known as visuo-spatial ability, which has been defined as "the ability to generate, retain, retrieve, and transform well-structured visual images".

Spatial intelligence is important for many tasks, including designing buildings, contemplating the three-dimensional structure of a molecule, navigating the human body, and more. Research suggests that spatial thinking is an important predictor of achievement in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). Preschoolers who are better at visualizing spatial relationships develop stronger arithmetic abilities in primary school. Spatial intelligence is often not assessed on most standardized tests and secondary-level or tertiary-level entrance examinations, unlike verbal and logico-mathematical intelligence).

Spatial intelligence is crucial in technical systems and software that aim to learn position-based information and update its behavior accordingly. Spatial intelligence plays a critical role in engineering and scientific disciplines. People with high spatial intelligence can successfully perceive and derive insight from visual data, and they might be beneficial in any career that needs planning, creating, and problem-solving. Some examples of famous people with high spatial intelligence include Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Frank Lloyd Wright.
