- In stringed musical instruments, the back is the lower or inner surface of the resonant cavity; the opposite one, nearer the strings, is the belly.

- In many sports, a back is a player whose normal position is behind the forwards. In Rugby union, this means a player who is not involved in the scrum.

It is often qualified with additional "measures", left back, quarterback, half back, full back, running back, and so on.
