Abstract
A splash guard for a sink is set forth which includes a panel having a longitudinal dimension substantially co-extensive with the front of a sink. At the top the panel has an upper margin and at the bottom a trough. The guard is adapted to be removably secured to the cabinet containing the sink at the upper margin such that the panel is disposed in front of the cabinets below the sink to prevent splashes from falling on the cabinets. The trough directs any splashes away from the cabinets.
