In German, Fräulein (literally, "little woman") is used as a title for young girls and unmarried women as opposed to Frau for married women. It can be used with the first name or last name (Fräulein Anna or Fräulein Schmidt). Fräulein is also used to address waitresses, independent of age or marital status.

The expression may be considered derogatory by many feminists. However, it is still used by elderly or traditional speakers, and some unmarried women, elderly or not, would even consider it inappropriate to be addressed as "Frau". Otherwise, it is nowadays often considered acceptable to address all women as Frau (plus last name).

There is no equivalent male form (^*Herrlein/Männlein Schmidt), although a good substitute would be junger Mann.

Literature and film have preserved the old usage very well, in some cases already in the title. Examples are E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale Das Fräulein von Scuderi (1819), Elizabeth von Arnim's epistolary novel Fräulein Schmidt and Mr Anstruther (1907), and the comedy film Fräulein vom Amt (1954), whose title was a common phrase denoting a female operator at a telephone exchange (Amt "office" because in the old days the telephone service was run by the post office). In an earlier comedy film, Unser Fräulein Doktor (1940), Jenny Jugo plays Dr. Elisabeth Hansen, a young attractive teacher at a gymnasium who has to fight to be taken seriously as an intellectual.
