In psychoanalysis, the ego is the realistic and conscious part of the psyche that mediates between the instinctual desires of the id and the moral constraints of the superego.

In broader philosophical and psychological contexts, the term also refers to an individual's sense of self-esteem, identity, or personal worth.
