Dakimakuras (抱き枕; from daki 抱き "embrace" and makura 枕 "pillow"), also known as body pillows, are long pillows with characters from media printed on the pillow itself or on a cover. Fans may make these pillows for personal use or sell them on websites such as Patreon and Etsy. It is one of the most popular forms of fancraft, with pillows made for many characters. It is also popular for original characters and furries.

Dakimakuras originated from Japanese-speaking media fandom in the late 1990s-early 2000s. It has since spread worldwide.
