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. Viitorologia este o știință care se ocupă cu teoriile și metodele de previziune și de cercetare a viitorului; știința viitorului.Academia Română, Dicționarul explicativ al limbii române, Editura Univers Enciclopedic Gold, București, 2016, articolul Viitorologie

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, Ossip K. Flechtheim: Futurologie. Der Kampf um die Zukunft. Verlag Wissenschaft und Politik, Köln 1971, p. 307 neavând pretenții că ea ar avea un caracter științific. Ossip K. Flechtheim: Futurologie. Der Kampf um die Zukunft. Verlag Wissenschaft und Politik, Köln 1971, p. 233 În concepția sa, futurologia reprezintă „o oglindă a istoriei”.

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