The Ninety-Five Theses, also known as the Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences, is a list of propositions for an academic disputation written in 1517 by Martin Luther, professor of moral theology at the University of Wittenberg, Germany. Luther criticized the selling of indulgences by the Catholic Church, which was a common practice at the time where the Church claimed that the faithful could reduce punishment for sins with monetary payments.

Luther's theses challenged the teachings of the Church on the nature of penance, the authority of the pope, and the usefulness of indulgences. They sparked a theological debate that would result in the Protestant Reformation and the division of the Western Church into Roman Catholicism and the new Protestant traditions.

The Ninety-Five Theses were quickly translated from Latin into German, printed, and widely distributed, greatly contributing to the momentum of the Reformation. October 31, 1517, the day that Luther is said to have posted the theses on the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, is commemorated annually as Reformation Day.
