领洗池是指在教会中为儿童及成人施行洗礼而设置的设备，是可储水的容器。依洗礼的不同，领洗池也随之不同，若是使用浸水礼，领洗池需可容纳一个人，受洗者在领洗池中，先浸到水中再由施洗者扶起，即完成洗礼。若是使用点水礼，受洗者不需进入领洗池中，领洗池只是单纯的储水容器。

A baptismal font is an article of church furniture used for baptism.

The fonts of many Christian denominations are intended for baptisms using a non-immersion method, such as aspersion or affusion. The simplest of these fonts has a pedestal (about 1.5 metres tall) with a holder for a basin of water. The materials vary greatly consisting of carved and sculpted marble, wood, or metal. The shape can vary. Many are eight-sided as a reminder of the new creation and as a connection to the practice of circumcision, which traditionally occurs on the eighth day. Some are three-sided as a reminder of the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
