十分の一税(じゅうぶんのいちぜい、英: tithe)とは、ユダヤ人やキリスト教徒等が宗教組織を支援するため支払う、ある物の十分の一の部分のこと。(一般に)自発的な寄付・租税・徴税として支払われる。什一税(じゅういちぜい)とも。 なお、アリストテレス名義の『経済学』第2巻や、『孟子』などにも見られるように、収入の十分の一を税として国家・共同体に納めるという仕組み自体は、イスラエル地域・ユダヤ人独特のものではなく、古代の地中海地域全般や、古代中国などでも広く行われていたものである。 今日、十分の一税は通常、現金・小切手・株式による支払い(什一献金)であるが、歴史的には農作物での支払いが可能であった。ヨーロッパでは、いくつかの教会に什一献金を認めて税制に連動した正規の工程として機能する国々もある。
