清水寺是一座位於日本京都府京都市東山區清水的寺院，於778年（寶龜9年）前後由上人起造。清水寺的山號為音羽山，主要供奉千手观音，原本屬於法相宗這一宗派但目前已獨立，成為的大本山。 清水寺与北山鹿苑寺（金阁寺）、嵐山天龍寺等同為京都境內最著名的名胜古蹟，一年四季前來朝拜的香客或來訪的觀光客是絡驛不絕。除此之外，清水寺也与石山寺（滋贺县大津市），长谷寺（奈良县樱井市）等寺廟並列，自古以来就一直以嗣奉觀音的廟宇而為人所熟知，也是西国三十三箇所（在關西地區參拜33所觀音廟的巡訪活動）中第16所寺廟。自平安時代以来，就经常出现于日本文学作品当中。1994年，清水寺以身為古都京都的文化財之一部分，列名至世界文化遗产中。
