Blackface merupakan suatu solekan teater yang digunakan pementas bukan kulit putih untuk menggambarkan seorang kulit hitam secara karikatur menghinanya; ia menjadi begitu popular sepanjang abad ke-19 melalui pertunjukan minstrel yang mengalihkan bentuk persembahan yang formal seperti opera kepada tema-tema yang lebih digemari masyarakat umum Amerika Syarikat ketika itu.[1] Seni ini wujud secara berlanjutan sebagai genre teater yang tersendiri sehingga berlakunya Pergerakan Hak Asasi Amerika pada tahun 1960-an.[2]
