Missio Dei is a Latin Christian theological term that can be translated as the "mission of God", or the "sending of God".

It is a concept which has become increasingly important in missiology and in understanding the mission of the church since the second half of the 20th century. Some of its key proponents include David Bosch, Lesslie Newbigin, and Darrell Guder.
