A sink drain is the opening in a sink basin through which water flows out, along with the pipe assembly connected to it.

The drain typically includes a strainer or stopper mechanism to catch debris or hold water: The sink drain is clogged with hair.

Clearing a slow sink drain is among the most common household plumbing tasks.
