Relikwie (łac. reliquiae „pozostałości, resztki”) – szczątki ciał osób świętych lub przedmioty, z którymi te osoby miały związek w czasie życia, stanowiące przedmioty czci w wielu religiach (np. drewno lub drzazgi z krzyża, na którym umarł Jezus). Są one szczególnie rozpowszechnione w katolicyzmie i prawosławiu, natomiast protestantyzm neguje kult relikwii.
