breadwinner是英語名詞，音標為英[ˈbredwɪnə(r)]/美[ˈbredwɪnər]，指家庭中賺取主要經濟收入的人，複數形式為breadwinners。該詞由"麵包"（bread）與"贏得者"（winner）複合構成，字面意為通過勞動獲取生計之人。
其內涵根植於傳統家庭經濟分工，常以"家庭頂樑柱"（Principal breadwinner）表述核心經濟角色。社會學中，"男性養家模式"（Male breadwinner model）指以男性為主要收入來源的家庭形態，"男主外家庭"（breadwinner-homemaker family）則強調內外分工結構。該術語也用於《養家之人》等文化作品命名。
該詞最早可追溯至19世紀，反映工業革命後家庭經濟角色的轉變。隨著社會變遷，傳統單一經濟支柱模式逐步淡化，女性及多經濟來源家庭漸增，但術語仍在當代語境中延續使用，並延伸出"sole breadwinner"（唯一經濟支柱）等擴展表述。
