Nouvelle théologie (French for "new theology") is the name commonly used to refer to a school of thought in Catholic theology that arose in the mid-20th century. The shared objective of these theologians was a fundamental reform of the dominance of Catholic theology by neo-scholasticism.

Critics argued this movement was essentially Modernism in disguise, which had previously been condemned as a heresy, and that the movement deviated from the long-standing theological tradition of the Catholic Church, thus creating a "new theology". It influenced the reforms initiated at the Second Vatican Council.
