An oxidizing agent removes electrons from another species and is itself reduced. A reducing agent gives up electrons to another species and is itself oxidized.

Some of the answers above are stupid. Chemically, an oxidizing agent is the substance that removes electrons from the other substance. A reducing agent is the substance that gives off their electrons so that the other chemical in the reaction can be reduced.
