汉绣，中国特色传统刺绣工艺之一，2008年6月7日，汉绣经国务院批准列入第二批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。是以楚绣为基础，融汇南北诸家绣法之长，揉合出了富有鲜明地方特色的新绣法。从春秋中期到战国时，楚国的刺绣品已远销到西伯利亚地区，其丝织业足以代表春秋中期我国丝织品工艺技术的最高水平，清末民初汉绣达到了鼎盛时期。

汉绣采用了一套铺、平、织、间、压、缆、掺、盘、套、垫、扣的针法，以“平金夹绣”为主要表现形式，分层破色、层次分明，对比强烈，下针果断，图案边缘齐整，名之曰“齐针”。绣品多从外围启绣，然后层层向内走针，进而铺满绣面。除“齐针”的基本针法外，汉绣还根据绣品不同的质地和花纹，灵活运用诸如垫针绣、铺针绣、纹针绣、游针绣、关针绣、润针绣、凸针绣、堆金绣、双面绣等针法，富有很强的立体感，在绣业中独树一帜。
