Syncope (spreek uit: sin-ko-pee), collaps of informeel flauwvallen is een kortdurende en vanzelf-overgaande bewusteloosheid veroorzaakt door een verminderde bloedtoevoer naar de hersenen. Syncope is een vorm van wegraking, gedefinieerd als een 'kortdurende, vanzelf overgaande bewusteloosheid niet ten gevolge van een hersenschudding'. Het bewustzijnsverlies leidt tot verlies van lichaamshouding door het wegvallen van de spiertonus.
