Vegetarisme Buddhis adalah praktik vegetarisme dengan porsi yang signifikan dari biksu dan biksuni Mahayana  (juga umat perumah tangga) dan beberapa umat Buddha dari sekte lain. Dalam Buddhisme, pandangan tentang vegetarisme berbeda-beda di antara aliran pemikiran yang berbeda. Aliran-aliran Mahayana umumnya menganjurkan diet vegetaris karena Buddha Gautama menetapkan dalam beberapa sutra bahwa para pengikutnya tidak boleh memakan daging makhluk hidup apa pun.
