A slightly movable joint (amphiarthrosis) is an articulation between bones in which the motion is limited due to either fibrous tissue or cartilage. Joints are classified as either fibrous or cartilaginous. Only one type of fibrous joint is slightly movable. It is known as a syndesmosis.

In another classification of joints, cartilaginous also has only one type that is considered slightly movable.
