Animal fats and oils are lipids (triacylglycerols) that come from animals, usually as by-products of meat, milk, or wool production. They are not raised specifically for their fats and they do not grow in the same way as oilseeds grown for vegetable oil. Like oils, they are a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fats. These fats and oils are composed of triglycerides, which are made up of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Animal fats and oils are a rich source of energy and are used in a variety of applications, including cooking, baking, and food processing. Some common examples of animal fats and oils include butter, lard, tallow, and fish oil.

The structure of animal fats determines their properties and uses. The majority of the fatty acid chains in animal fats are saturated, but they can contain either short-chain or medium-chain unsaturated fatty acids. These characteristics give them different physical properties, for example, the melting point of tallow is higher than that of butter. Their saturated bonds also make animal fats solid at room temperature.
