A '''forfeit''' can be one of several things:
* '''Forfeiting''' is the act of voluntarily admitting defeat in a competition or contest, thereby surrendering victory to the opposition. Usually it is only done in the most extreme circumstances, in which the forfeiting party believes there is simply no way to continue under the present circumstances.
* '''Forfeiting''' can also be done by calling off or ending a game.
* '''Forfeiting''' is an established practice in competitive [[sports]], but rarely done. In [[American Football]], a forfeit is scored as a 2-0 win for the opposing team.
* [[Forfeits (game)]], a traditional game where players have to perform silly or humiliating tasks to stay in the game
* [[Forfeit (baseball)]] - for information about forfeiting in [[baseball]]
* [[Forfeit (song)| Forfeit]] a song on [[Chevelle]]'s breakthrough Cd ''[[Wonder What's Next]]
* A '''forfeit''' in [[cricket]] can occur in one of two ways:
** Either side may forfeit one of their [[innings]], but only by mutual consent of the opposing captains. It is not a common practice and is usually only done to try to get a result in a rain-affected match; at the end of side A's first innings the captains may agree that side B will forfeit their first innings and side A will forfeit their second innings, thus reducing the match to a single innings game.
** The [[umpires]] also have the power to award a match to side A where side B either concedes defeat or in the opinion of the umpires refuses to play, in which case the game can be deemed to have been forfeited by side B.
*'''[[Asset forfeiture]]''', in law, is the confiscation by the State of assets which are either the proceeds of crime or the instrumentalities of crime.
