A '''membrane''' is any layer that separates two [[fluid]]s. Membranes may be [[Semipermeable Membrane|selectively permeable]], meaning they allow some molecules across the membrane, but block others. Dialysis tubing is an example of this. Most membranes in biology are [[lipid bilayer]]s. This means they consist of two layers of interposed [[lipid]]s.

Membranes can be generally classified into synthetic membranes and [[biological membrane]]s.
