In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the planetouched are mortal creatures whose ancestors were extraplanar creatures such as celestials, fiends, or elementals.

Planetouched are considered native outsiders.

The concept of races descended from extraplanar creatures debuted in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition with the Planescape setting. The tiefling was introduced in the Planescape Campaign Setting boxed set (1994) as a player character race, and received statistics in the first Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix (1994). The aasimar first appeared in Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix II (1995).The Planewalker's Handbook (1996) introduced genasi (including the air genasi, the earth genasi, the fire genasi, and the water genasi), and presented options for the aasimar and the tiefling as player character races. The aasimar appeared again as a player character race in Warriors of Heaven (1999).

The aasimar and the tiefling appear in the third edition Monster Manual (2000) under the planetouched entry, and in the 3.5 revised Monster Manual (2003). The axani, the cansin, and the para-genasi (the dust para-genasi, the ice para-genasi, the magma para-genasi, the ooze para-genasi, the smoke para-genasi, and the steam para-genasi) appeared in Dragon #297 (July 2002). The chaond and the zenythri appeared in the Monster Manual II (2002). The maeluth, the mechanatrix, the shyft, and the wispling appeared in the Fiend Folio (2003). The tiefling paragon was introduced in Unearthed Arcana (2004). The aasimar and the tiefling appear as player character races in the Planar Handbook (2004), and Races of Destiny (2004).
