Saddlebacks are animals with markings resembling a saddle across the back—typically a dark band contrasting with lighter coloring elsewhere.

The term applies to various species: saddleback pigs have a white band around a dark body, saddleback caterpillars bear a distinctive green-and-brown pattern.

In architecture, a saddleback roof has two slopes meeting at a ridge, like an inverted saddle.
