La polymathie est la connaissance approfondie d’un grand nombre de sujets différents, en particulier dans le domaine des arts et des sciences. Le substantif associé est polymathe, parfois également nommé « personne d'esprit universel » ou « génie universel »[réf. souhaitée]. Il existe une Société polymathique du Morbihan depuis 1826.
