In architecture, a lunette (French lunette, "little moon") is a half-moon shaped space, either filled with recessed masonry or void. A lunette is formed when a horizontal cornice transects a round-headed arch at the level of the imposts, where the arch springs.

If the door is a major access, and the lunette above is massive and deeply set, it may be called a tympanum. * The term is usefully employed to describe the section of interior wall between the curves of a vault and its springing line.
