In [[numerical analysis]], given a square grid in one or two dimensions, the '''five-point stencil''' of a point in the grid is made up of the point itself together with its four "neighbors".

== Description ==

It is used to write finite difference approximations to derivatives at grid points.

It is an example for numerical differentiation.
