The Cruciatus Curse (incantation: "Crucio") is an Unforgivable Curse in the Harry Potter universe that inflicts excruciating, unbearable pain on the victim, essentially torturing them without leaving physical marks, and can drive them insane or to death if prolonged, requiring the caster to genuinely want to inflict suffering to be effective. 

Is sectumsempra an unforgivable curse?

No, Sectumsempra is not officially an Unforgivable Curse, though it's a very dangerous Dark Arts spell that causes deep, bleeding wounds, similar in effect to torture or maiming, but it has a known counter-curse, Vulnera Sanentur, and can be blocked, unlike the Unforgivables (Avada Kedavra, Crucio, Imperio) which are defined by their absolute, unblockable, and often irreversible effects on life, pain, or free will. Its non-Unforgivable status also stems from being invented by Snape and relatively unknown, but if widely known and used, it could arguably fit the criteria for being treated similarly.
