Zen of chán is een vorm van boeddhisme die sterk de nadruk legt op dhyana oftewel concentratie-meditatie. Hiermee zou inzicht verkregen worden in de eigen ware aard, om zo de weg te openen naar een bevrijde manier van leven. Chán is een van de grotere Chinese scholen in het mahayana-boeddhisme. In Japan en het westen is de school bekend onder de naam zen (Japans 禅).
