Trumandoktrinen var en avsiktsförklaring från amerikansk sida, offentliggjord i mars 1947 av USA:s president Harry S. Truman. Den innebar att USA skulle stödja "fria folk som kämpar mot väpnade minoriteter eller externt tryck syftande till att betvinga dem". Syftet med doktrinen var i grund och botten att stötta regeringar som hotades av kommunismen, vid en tid då Sovjetunionen utövade inflytande i bland annat Grekland och Turkiet.
