Iconoclasm was a movement in Byzantine history in which religious images and icons were destroyed, which was eventually opposed and overturned by the Orthodox Church under the Byzantine empress Theodora and her son Michael III. The conflict between iconoclasm and the defense of religious images was significant enough in Byzantine religious and political life that its resolution came to be commemorated as the "Triumph of Orthodoxy."

Iconoclasm () is the belief in the importance of the destruction of icons and other images or monuments, often for religious or political reasons. Those who engage in or support iconoclasm are called iconoclasts, a term that has come to be applied figuratively and more broadly to anyone who challenges "cherished beliefs or venerated institutions on the grounds that they are erroneous or pernicious".
