Unitarian or Unitarianism may refer to:

Christian and Christian-derived theologies

A Unitarian is a follower of, or a member of an organisation that follows, any of several theologies referred to as Unitarianism:

  • Unitarianism (1565–present), a liberal Christian theological movement known for its belief in the unitary nature of God, and for its rejection of the doctrines of the Trinity, original sin, predestination, and of biblical inerrancy
  • Unitarian Universalism (often referring to themselves as "UUs" or "Unitarians"), a primarily North American liberal pluralistic religious movement that grew out of Unitarianism, but later became more associated with Humanism, no longer officially opposing Trinitarianism nor officially supporting Theism, and which holds no specific creeds.
  • In everyday British usage, "Unitarian" refers to the organisation formally known as the General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches, which holds beliefs similar to Unitarian Universalists
  • International Council of Unitarians and Universalists, an umbrella organization
  • Biblical Unitarianism, a scripture-fundamentalist non-Trinitarian movement (flourished c.1876-1929)
  • Nontrinitarianism, a generic name for a Christian point of view that rejects the Trinity doctrine

Other religious theologies

  • The English translation of the Arabic term موحد Muwaḥḥid (plural موحدون Muwaḥḥidūn), alternately meaning "monotheist", which may refer to:
    • The Almohad Caliphate, a dynasty and movement in the Maghreb and Al-Andalus
    • The endonym of the Druze people, a monotheistic ethnoreligious community, found primarily in Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Jordan
    • The self-description of many Salafi and Wahhabi groups
