'''Jnana Yoga''' ([[Sanskrit]]: ''jñānayoga'') is one of the three classical margas, or types of yoga, mentioned in Hindu texts, the other two being ''karma yoga'' and ''bhakti yoga''. Jñāna is a [[Sanskrit]] term that means "knowledge". In Indian religions it refers specifically to the knowledge that comes by means of direct experience of reality, which brings release from bondage. Jnana yoga is the way to union by means of study of philosophical texts, contemplation, and self-knowledge.

Classical [[Vedānta|Advaita Vedanta]] emphasises the path of Jnana Yoga, a progression of study and training to attain liberation.
