信仰治疗（英语：Faith healing），是指对生理或心灵上的疾病，透过祈祷或灵修的方式而借着上帝或神灵的力量进行医治及治疗。所有的科学界人士和哲学界人士均认为，信仰治疗属于伪科学[1][2][3][4][5]。有少量医护界机构认为，信仰治疗对病人有一定程度的帮助[6]，但可用宗教心理学的安慰剂解释。
透过祈祷或神灵干预治病，在古代历史上是非常普遍的做法。[7] 不少宗教声称可以透过其信仰治疗眼盲、失聪、癌症、艾滋病、发展障碍、贫血、 关节炎 、 言语障碍、 多发性硬化症、 皮疹、全身麻痹、身体受伤等疾病[8]。信徒相信，人们可以借着祈祷，或参拜神社，或靠一个强烈的信念而治疗这些疾病。[8]
宗教证据及批判
[编辑]一些意见认为，宗教治疗的疗效，能间接提供有上帝或超自然力量的证明。一些意见则认为，宗教治疗，在排除假记忆、错误记忆及造假可能后，可能只是安慰剂效应及大脑作崇。[9][10]

There are also activities that, although not classified (or claimed) as science, have implications that trespass into the scientific territories. Examples of this category of activities are the claim that we have been visited by aliens riding unidentified flying objects, all psychic phenomena, and faith healing. We study the nature of all these activities under the general heading of pseudoscience. . .

For example, most scientists dismiss the notion of faith-healing, a phenomenon for which there is a certain amount of evidence.
