The common ling, also known as the white ling or simply the ling, is a large member of the family Lotidae, a group of cod-like fishes.

It is an important quarry species for fisheries, especially in the northeastern Atlantic, although some doubts exist as the sustainability of the fisheries. As an edible species, it is eaten fresh, frozen, or dried, but also preserved in lye, while the roe is a delicacy in Spain.
