Slime mold or slime mould is an informal name given to several kinds of unrelated eukaryotic organisms that can live freely as single cells, but can aggregate together to form multicellular reproductive structures.

Although not related to one another, they are still sometimes grouped for convenience within the paraphyletic group referred to as kingdom Protista.
