Fasting is the practice of refraining from eating, and sometimes drinking, for a period of time. From a physiological perspective, fasting refers to the metabolic state that occurs after a meal has been fully digested and absorbed—a process that typically begins 3–5 hours after eating—or simply the state of not having eaten overnight before breakfast.

断食（だんじき, 英語: Fasting）とは、自主的に飲食行為を断つこと。一定の期間、すべての食物あるいは特定の食物の摂取を絶つ宗教的行為。現代では絶食療法（一般にいう断食療法）として、医療行為ないし民間医療ともされている。固形物の食べ物を口にするのを止める行為であり、水すらも一切飲まない断食もある。「絶食」ともいう。後述のラマダーンなど特定の意味を示す言葉として「断食」という言葉を使う場合もある。
