Roaring Twenties，咆哮的二十年代（英语：Roaring Twenties，有时为Roarin' 20s）是指西方世界和西方文化中1920年代的十年间。这是一个持续经济繁荣的时期，在美国和西欧具有独特的文化优势，特别是在主要城市例如柏林、芝加哥、伦敦、洛杉矶、纽约市、巴黎和悉尼。在法国，这十年被称为“疯狂年月”（Années folles）[1]，强调了这个时代的社会、艺术和文化活力。十年间，它所涵盖的激动人心的事件数不胜数，因之有人称这是“历史上最为多彩的年代”：美国士兵自欧战前线上归国拉开了这一时代的序幕，随后是爵士乐为代表的新艺术的诞生，崭新而自信的现代女性面孔的出现，还有装饰风艺术达到顶峰[2]；此一时期内无数具有深远影响的发明创造，前所未有的工业化浪潮，民众旺盛的消费需求与消费欲望，以及生活方式翻天覆地的彻变至今也令人难以忘怀。此外，十年内一系列的美国国内和国际事件也深刻地改变了20世纪上半叶的历史进程。但是，不容否认的是，南方许多州的美国黑人仍然生活在贫穷之中，黑手党的成员受到诸如《一个国家的诞生》这类影片的影响也在急剧扩大，美国国内的种族隔阂和种族矛盾在这一时期进一步扩大和加剧，对有色人种施加集团性迫害的社会基础在不知不觉间被巩固和强化。
咆哮的二十年代始于北美，又受一战结束影响传至欧洲。欧洲自1919年一战结束以来饱受经济衰退困扰，因此一直致力于战后重建并恢复因战争而造成的劳动力消减。与二战后不同，美国没有试图支援欧洲的战后复兴，反而是进一步倾向于孤立主义政策。在加拿大，美国取代英国成为主要经济伙伴导致了该国历史上一次极为重要的经济转型。总体上，自20年代中期开始，北美经济规模开始凌驾于欧洲之上，而几乎与此同时，咆哮的二十年代也开始在英法德等几个主要欧洲国家显现。20年代后半的欧洲经济高速发展，在这十年中期，繁荣是很普遍的，十年的下半期，特别是在德国被称作“黄金的二十年代”。[3]
咆哮的二十年代的精髓可以被描述为现代主义与反传统精神的某种不协调结合。此间，现代科学似乎能够化一切为可能，经济与技术的发展潜力似乎无限巨大，所有人都感到一个全新的截然不同的时代即将到来。新技术，特别是汽车、电影以及无线电给很大部分人带来了“现代性”。实用主义原则使得一切不必要的冗余装饰统统被去除，无论是建筑领域还是在日常生活中。同时，爵士乐和舞蹈在反对第一次世界大战的情绪中越来越受欢迎，因此这一时期也被称作“爵士时代”。
