Mediumisme adalah praktik yang diklaim sebagai perantara komunikasi antara roh atau arwah orang mati dengan manusia yang masih hidup. Pelakunya dikenal dengan istilah "medium" atau "medium roh". Terdapat berbagai metode dalam praktik ini, mulai dari pemanggilan arwah melalui meja (séance tables), kondisi trans, hingga penggunaan papan Ouija. Praktik ini erat kaitannya dengan aliran spiritualisme dan spiritisme, serta memiliki kemiripan dengan konsep channeling dalam gerakan Zaman Baru.
Keyakinan terhadap kemampuan psikis ini cukup tersebar luas di masyarakat,[1] meskipun belum ada bukti empiris yang mendukung keberadaannya. Selama lebih dari seratus tahun, para peneliti ilmiah telah berupaya menguji keabsahan klaim-klaim mediumisme, namun secara konsisten gagal membuktikannya. Pada tahun 2005, eksperimen yang dilakukan oleh British Psychological Society kembali menegaskan bahwa subjek uji yang mengeklaim diri sebagai medium tidak menunjukkan adanya kemampuan mediumistik sama sekali.[2]
