'Patafysica is een absurdistische parodie op de moderne wetenschap, die met onzinredeneringen filosofeert over wat achter de metafysica ligt. Het concept werd bedacht door de Franse schrijver Alfred Jarry (1873–1907). Volgens Jarry komt de 'patafysica voort uit de leer van Oud-Griekse natuurfilosofen als Hippocrates van Chios.
