Relik (Latınca reliquiae "geri qalan, qalıq") — Xristianlıqda məsih, müqəddəslər və digər müqəddəs insanlarla əlaqəli və ya onlardan qalmış müqəddəs əşyalara və ya parçalara verilən addır.[1] Məsələn, müqəddəslərin sümükləri və ya bu insanın sahibi olduqları mallar relikdir. Reliklər bəzən reliker adlanan xüsusi mühafizə qablarında saxlanılır.
