Moravian Confession is a doctrinal document of Protestants in Moravia from 1566. It is written in moderate and inclusivistic tone (sometimes referred as Philippistic or Neo-Utraquistic). It is based on Augsburg Confession and puts emphasis on church discipline (what is typical for Bohemian Reformation).

About two-thirds of Moravian Protestant clergy adhered initially to Moravian Confession. It was explicitly rejected by Unitas Fratrum (Moravian Church). The importance of the Moravian Confession soon declined, as the Augsburg Confession became prevalent in Moravia by the end of the next decade.
