Biserica Unificării, fondată în anul 1954 de către Sun Myung Moon (n. 6 ian. 1920, Coreea de Nord) este o nouă mișcare religioasă.

Înființată sub numele de „Asociația Sfântului Duh pentru Unificare a Creștinismului Mondial”, și-a schimbat numele în 1994 în „Federația familiilor pentru pace și unificare”.[1]

Numărul membrilor este undeva între câteva sute de mii și câteva milioane.[2]

Membrii cred că Sun Myung Moon este un mesia.[3]

Cartea principală a mișcării este numită „Principiul Divin”.[4]
