Glove fetishism is a form of sexual fetishism referring to a sexual preoccupation with gloves of various kinds. People with this fetish may be aroused by visualizing, wearing, or interacting with gloves or gloved hands. The fetish can be enhanced by the material of the glove (e.g., leather, cotton, latex, nitrile, PVC, satin or nylon).

Movements made by the gloved fingers, or the hand can provide the individual with a visual stimulus and sexual arousal. Glove fetishism may also coexist with hand fetishism. Many have reported to have enjoyed erotic spanking with gloves worn by the provider, which can be a large part of the fetish.^{[citation needed]} Gloves are also used for fisting and sounding.

An article regarding eighteenth-century women’s gloving practices and representations of women’s gloves in the period was published in 2019 on a journal named University of Toronto Press.
