Etalon für Längenmaße an der Wand des Königlichen Observatoriums in Greenwich, London
Das Yard ist eine Einheit der Länge in vielen englischsprachigen Ländern (siehe Angloamerikanisches Maßsystem), das dort zusätzlich zu den Längen-Einheiten des metrischen Internationalen Einheitensystems gebräuchlich und amtlich zugelassen ist. Es entspricht 3 Fuß.
Es wird angenommen, dass schon in den prähistorischen Kulturen der Bandkeramik und des Megalithikums Längeneinheiten verwendet wurden, die 3 Fuß betrugen[1]. 1011 wurde das Yard von Heinrich I. als Abstand von seiner Nasenspitze bis zur Daumenspitze seines ausgestreckten Armes festgelegt. Es folgten für den Bereich des britischen Königreichs weitere Definitionen des Yard, so von 1558 bis 1824 das „Königin Elisabeth Yard“, das 1758 zum Teil der „Imperial Standards“ erklärt wurde, und das Birds Standard-Maß von 1760. 1856 erhielten die USA zwei Kopien des britischen Standard-Yards, das inzwischen definiert worden war als Abstand der Mitten der mittleren Striche auf den Goldpflöcken in einem Bronzestab bei 62 Grad Fahrenheit, der im Board of Trade in Westminster aufbewahrt wird. Seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wird das Yard vom Meter abgeleitet: Das English Yard ist heute auf 914,3993 mm, das amerikanische Yard auf 914,4019 mm festgelegt. Es gibt allerdings weitere Festlegungen und für Anwendungen mit geringerer Exaktheit gelten gerundete Werte (s.u.).
Im angelsächsischen Raum findet das Yard heute vor allem noch in der Geodäsie Verwendung. Im Bereich der Weltraumforschung wird die Vertauschung von Yard und Meter bei der Programmierung des Mars Polar Lander dafür verantwortlich gemacht, dass dieser nicht wie geplant Ende September 1999 in eine Umlaufbahn um den Mars ging, sondern in dessen Atmosphäre verglühte[2]. In der Leichtathletik waren bis Ende der 1970er Jahre neben den Meter-Strecken auch Yard-Strecken üblich, z. B. 100-Yards-Lauf (91,44 m) oder 4x110-Yards-Staffellauf.
Das englische Wort bedeutet eigentlich Gerte. Eine passende deutsche Übersetzung wäre Schritt, normalerweise wird Yard aber beibehalten.
