In der Medizin ist eine Synkope (von altgriechisch συνκοπή synkopḗ, deutsch ‚Zusammenstoßen‘, ‚Ausstoßen‘; spätlateinisch syncope), im Deutschen auch Ohnmacht genannt, eine plötzlich einsetzende, kurz andauernde Bewusstlosigkeit, die mit einem Verlust der Haltungskontrolle einhergeht und ohne besondere Behandlung spontan wieder aufhört.
