卡巴拉（Kabbalah；希伯来语：קַבָּלָה‎，字面意思是“接受/传承” ）是与犹太哲学观点有关的思想，用来解释永恒的造物主与有限的宇宙之间的关系。虽然它被许多教派所引用，但它本身并未形成宗派，而仅仅是传统犹太教典之内的类别的经典。犹太教中称传统的卡巴拉主义者为“Mekubal”（希伯来语：מְקוּבָל‎）。与犹太教哲学形成犹太教神学的两大面向。

卡巴拉旨在界定宇宙和人类的本质、存在目的的本质，以及其他各种本体论问题。它也提供方法来帮助理解这些概念和精神，从而达到精神上的实现。

卡巴拉刚发展时，完全属于犹太人的思想领域，也经常以传统犹太思想来解释和说明其深奥的学说。这些学说因而被卡巴拉人士用来描述《塔纳赫》（希伯来圣经）n和传统的拉比文献，并解释犹太教仪式的涵义。

Kabbalah (Hebrew:קַבָּלָה‎, literally "receiving/tradition") is an esoteric method, discipline, and school of thought that originated in Judaism. A traditional Kabbalist in Judaism is called a Mekubbal (Hebrew:מְקוּבָּל‎).

Kabbalah's definition varies according to the tradition and aims of those following it, from its religious origin as an integral part of Judaism, to its later Christian, New Age, and Occultist syncretic adaptations. Kabbalah is a set of esoteric teachings meant to explain the relationship between an unchanging, eternal, and mysterious Ein Sof (infinity) and the mortal and finite universe (God's creation). While it is heavily used by some denominations, it is not a religious denomination in itself. It forms the foundations of mystical religious interpretation. Kabbalah seeks to define the nature of the universe and the human being, the nature and purpose of existence, and various other ontological questions. It also presents methods to aid understanding of the concepts and thereby attain spiritual realisation.
