Loflied

'n Loflied is 'n soort lied, gedeeltelik sinoniem met 'n gewyde lied, en word spesifiek geskryf vir die doel van aanbidding of gebed, en word tipies gerig aan 'n godheid of gode, of aan 'n prominente figuur of personifikasie.

Versamelings van lofliedere staan bekend as gesangboeke of lofliedere. Lofliedere kan instrumentale begeleiding insluit of nie. Polyhymnia is die Griekse/Romeinse godin van lofliedere.
