Viitorologia (sau futurologia) este cercetarea sistematică și critică a problemelor legate de posibile dezvoltări viitoare. Se concentrează pe studierea legilor și metodelor noi de previziune a viitorului. 

Termenul futurologie a fost folosit prima dată de politologul german Ossip Kurt Flechtheim în 1943, el considerând futurologia ca fiind o sinteză între ideologie și utopie, neavând pretenții că ea ar avea un caracter științific. În concepția sa, futurologia reprezintă „o oglindă a istoriei”. 

Obiectul futurologiei este definirea omului, viitorul istoriei și al culturii sale.
