The term Orthodox Christianity may refer to:
- the Eastern Orthodox Church and its various geographical subdivisions (such as the Bulgarian, Cypriot, Greek, Romanian, Serbian and Russian Orthodox Churches)
- the various Oriental Orthodox churches (such as the Armenian Apostolic Church, Coptic, Ethiopian, and Syriac Orthodox Churches)1234
- Western Rite Orthodoxy, congregations or groups which are allied to Eastern or Oriental Orthodoxy, while using traditional Western liturgies
- other Christian churches or theologies which consider themselves to be orthodox (non-heretical), irrespective of whether or not a given church uses the word "orthodox" in its official name;5678 when used in this sense, the word "orthodox" is generally not capitalized
