An interpolation formula is suggested for the wave-number and density dependence of the static screening function for an interacting electron gas in its ground state. The approximate screening function simulates a number of properties of the exact screening function which have been established by analysis of its many-body perturbation expansion. The accuracy of the interpolation formula is discussed and is considered to be adequate for practical calculations in the range of intermediate metallic densities.
