自由教会,亦称独立派基督徒独立教会,是基督新教分支之一。独立教会与宗教改革没有历史渊源,近年来更发展出独立于传统宗派的教会组织和信仰实践模式。

其常见形式包括撒哈拉以南非洲境内不属于任何主流宗派的教会、中国国内不属于官方宗教组织的教会和美国非宗派教会[1]。英格兰不从国教(不信奉英格兰教会)的派别也是自由教会[2]

In England, the term has been applied to Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Methodists, Quakers, and Baptists. There has also been a Free church tradition in Scotland relative to the established Church of Scotland, which is Presbyterian; and in Sweden, Norway and Denmark relative to the established Lutheran churches in those countries.
