The rafter square, also known as a rafter angle or framing square, is shaped like an isosceles right triangle with a stop on one leg. The various scales and cutouts make the rafter square a multifunctional tool, ideal for marking lines and angles, as well as serving as a scribing tool and saw guide.

Rafter squares are typically made from steel, aluminum, or plastic and are marked with metric units (millimeters, centimeters) or imperial units (inches). Common metric sizes include 18 cm and 30 cm, while common imperial sizes are 7 inches and 12 inches.

The different scales and cutouts of the rafter square, along with the practical stop edge, are particularly suited for working with wood, whether in framing, carpentry, or joinery. The rafter square originated in the United States, where it is still primarily used in carpentry for roof construction and rafters. Hence the name rafter square.

With the rafter square, the pitch or angle for regular rafters, hip rafters, valley rafters, and jack rafters can be determined.
