'''Gereja yang Mengaku''' (aslinya {{lang-de|Bekennende Kirche}}; {{lang-en|Confessing Church}} juga disebut ''Confessional Church'') adalah suatu gerakan perlawanan [[Kristen]] di [[Jerman Nazi]]. Pada [[1933]] ''[[Gleichschaltung]]'' memaksa gereja-gereja [[Kristen]] [[Protestan]] untuk bergabung ke dalam [[Gereja Protestan Reich]] dan mendukung [[Naziism#teori ideologis|ideologi Nazi]]. Mereka yang menentang terpaksa mengadakan pertemuan "di bawah tanah". Pada [[1934]], sekelompok pendeta dan jemaat mengukuhkan kembali dalam "[[Deklarasi Barmen]]" fokus Gereja kepada [[Yesus]] [[Kristus]] dan perlawanan mereka terhadap ideologi Nazi.
Banyak dari para pemimpin "Gereja yang Mengaku" ini, seperti [[Martin Niemöller]] dan [[Dietrich Bonhoeffer]], dimasukkan ke dalam [[kamp konsentrasi]], dan sebagian di antaranya mati di sana. Orang-orang [[Kristen]] yang tidak setuju dengan Nazi kehilangan pemimpin mereka, dan terpaksa beribadah seperti yang pernah dilakukan oleh mereka yang hidup pada masa-masa gereja awal dipada zaman [[Kekaisaran Romawi]]. Namun pemerintah Nazi lebih tidak toleran terhadap perbedaan-perbedaan dalam pemahaman keagamaan, dibandingkan dengan pemerintah Romawi. "Gereja yang Mengaku" terlibat dalam berbagai perlawanan, terutama sekali menyembunyikan [[orang Yahudi]] dari penangkapan rezim Nazi.
