體化認知（英語：Embodied cognition ），又稱為體現的認知、具身認知，是一種認知理論，該理論認為無論是人類還是其他生物，其多數認知特徵是由生物體全身的各方面所塑造而成。 認知特徵包括高級的心理產物（例如概念和範疇）以及在各種認知任務（如推理或判斷）中的表現。而身體方面則包括運動系統、知覺系統 ，身體與環境的相互作用（ 情境性 ），以及根據生物體結構來設想這個世界。

體化心靈的論點對如認知主義、計算主義和笛卡爾二元論等其他理論發起了挑戰，並且與外延心靈論 、情境式認知和生成主義密切相關。 其現代版本取決於多領域最新的研究見解，包括心理學、語言學、認知科學、動力學系統、人工智慧、機器人學、動物認知、植物認知和神經生物學。
