挖耳勺，也叫掏耳勺、耳扒子，是一种清除耳屎的工具，也可用於单纯搔痒。多为竹制或金属制，也有塑料、象牙、金银一类贵金属和玉石制品。唐朝宰相杜悰曾谓其为“铁了事”。

手执挖耳勺进入耳道，掏出附在耳道上的耳屎。如果在开始时挖耳勺就接触到耳壁，有可能把勺外的耳屎反而更推向内耳。应在挖耳勺进入内部后再向外掏。挖耳朵既可以自己动手，也可以委托他人帮忙：被挖耳朵者多躺在挖耳朵者膝盖上。此多可见于亲子、恋人之间。

有些耳勺另一端附有鹅毛，可在挖完耳朵后用来清理耳中碎屑。

外耳一带的浅显部位，有耳屎或发痒时，有时可以用小指和指甲来除掉耳屎并搔痒。也有以类似的细长对象棉花棒、牙签、钉子等临时代替耳勺。但棉花棒之外，指甲等对象可能较锋利，会有损伤耳道乃至耳膜的可能。

Ear picks, also called ear scoops, or ear spoons, or earpicks, are a type of curette used to clean the ear canal of earwax (cerumen).

In Asia, these are traditionally made from bamboo or precious metals such as silver or gold, but more commonly now, from stainless steel or plastic. European ear scoops produced up to the early 19th century were made from either bronze or precious metals such as silver.
