咽炎（英語：Pharyngitis）是指人類喉部深處，即俗稱咽（咽喉后部）出现的炎症。通常会导致咽喉痛、发热。其他病徵可能包括流鼻水还可能有流鼻涕、咳嗽、头痛、声音沙哑等症状。通常会持续3到5天。也可能并发鼻竇炎、急性中耳炎。咽炎是一种上呼吸道感染。大多数病例是由病毒感染所致。而链球菌性咽喉炎是一种细菌感染所致，在美国，约25%的儿童和10%的成人患有此疾病。比較少見的病因包括感染淋球菌或真菌等其他細菌，或是因抽煙、過敏及胃食道逆流而引起。咽炎患者若已表現出明確的病毒感染症狀，例如感冒時，並不建議再作特別的檢查。反之，則建議作（RAPD）或（throat swab）。其他疾病，如會厭炎、甲狀腺炎、及心臟病也可能會引起類似的症狀。給予病患如布洛芬（ibuprofen）等非類固醇抗發炎藥物（NSAIDs）可有助於減緩疼痛。服用利多卡因（lidocaine）混合溶液也有效果。链球菌性咽喉炎則通常使用盤尼西林或阿莫西林等抗生素治療。類固醇雖可用以治療情況嚴重的病患，但是否對急性咽炎也有效，則尚不明確，但最近（2020年）的一项审查发现，当与抗生素联合使用时，类固醇可适度改善疼痛和缓解的可能性。在美國，約有7.5%的人每3個月就會感到1次喉嚨痛。而每年罹患2至3次咽炎也非罕見。2007年在美國因此症就診的人數高達1500萬人。咽炎是引起咽喉痛的最常见原因。英文「Pharyngitis」這個字是源自希臘文「pharynx」，意為「喉嚨」，然後再加上「itis」，意為「發炎」的字尾。
