'''Anafora''' ni jina la matini ya sehemu muhimu zaidi ya [[Liturujia ya Kimungu]] (au [[Misa]]), ambapo vipaji vya [[mkate]] na [[divai]] pamoja na [[maji]] kidogo vinageuzwa na [[Roho Mtakatifu]] kuwa [[mwili]] na [[damu]] ya [[Yesu Kristo]] kadiri ya [[imani]] ya [[Wakristo]] wengi, hasa [[Wakatoliki]] na [[Waorthodoksi]].
