Misokinesia is a condition marked by a strong negative emotional or physiological response to the sight of movements made by other people, such as fidgeting, leg shaking, hair twirling, and others. It is often described as a "hatred of movements" and can lead to feelings of annoyance, anger, and notable anxiety. The cause of misokinesia is unknown.

While misokinesia is thought to be quite prevalent there has been little awareness or research of it. Misokinesia is commonly comorbid with misophonia; in a sample of over one thousand adults from Amazon Mechanical Turk, 25.5% reported having both misokinesia and misophonia. Misokinesia may also often co-occur with misophonia.
