Vedaanta (sanskriti keeles वेदान्त, vedānta, ‘veedade lõpp’) on veedade autoriteeti tunnistava hinduistliku filosoofia peasuund, üks kuuest koolkonnast ehk daršanast.

Vedaanta ideid väljendavad upanišadid, «Bhagavadgītā» ja Bādarājana Brahmasūtra. Nendele teostele on paljud india õpetlased hiljem kirjutanud hulgaliselt kommentaare.[1] Vedaanta filosoofia üks kesksemaid teemasid on üldise ja üksiku (brahmani ja aatmani) vahekord.

Brahmani kontseptsioon dvaita vedaantas on niivõrd sarnane monoteistlikule ja igavesele Jumalale, et mõned varajase koloniaalaja indoloogid nagu George Abraham Grierson pidasid varajasi Indiasse rännanud kristlasi selle mõjutajateks, kuid hilisemad uurijad lükkasid selle teooria ümber. – Vrd: Kulandran, Sabapathy; Hendrik, Kraemer (2004).
