Genuflection (or genuflexion) (Latin genuflexio "bending of the knee") is an act of reverence in Christianity, consisting of falling onto (usually) one knee. Today the term is used mostly in the Latin rite of the Catholic Church and in churches of the Anglican Communion. The faithful who pass before the presence of the Blessed Sacrament (generally reserved in the tabernacle) are expected to genuflect on the right knee as a sign of devotion. If the Eucharist is exposed in a monstrance or ciborium placed on an altar for a service of devotion, one may genuflect on both knees (called a "double genuflection"). Genuflection may occur at other times as well, for example when the Blessed Sacrament is being moved (e.g., from one tabernacle to another), or at certain points in the liturgy (e.g., at the words "and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man" in recitation of the Nicene Creed during the liturgy of Christmas and the Annunciation).

In the past the faithful would genuflect each time they passed in front of the tabernacle during the Mass; this has become uncommon. Sacristans and those employed by the church need customarily only make one, solemn, genuflection when beginning their tasks, as they would otherwise be genuflecting constantly.

On Good Friday and Holy Saturday Roman Catholic Churches do not contain the Blessed Sacrament. However, it is customary for the faithful to genuflect to the cross on these days, once it has been revealed in the Good Friday service. The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the Altar of Repose in those days; when passing in front of that Altar, the faithful kneel on both knees and make a profound bow in that position. In churches of the Anglican Communion, it is customary on Good Friday to venerate a large cross or crucifix, and the devotional act may include a simple or double genuflection.
