An "acupuncture point" refers to a specific location on the body where needles are inserted during acupuncture treatment to stimulate energy flow (often called "qi") and promote healing or balance, according to traditional Chinese medicine. These points are typically found along pathways known as meridians. It broadly refers to the general term for acupoints.

In Chinese, "acupoint" is written as "俞穴" (shuxue), "腧穴" or "輸穴", which is a general term for "acupuncture point". The pronunciation of "俞" is the same as "腧" or "輸", which carries the meaning of "transport" or "convey." However, "輸穴" sometimes specifically refers to shu-stream point among the Five Shu Points.
