Christian egalitarianism, also known as biblical equality, is egalitarianism based in Christianity. Christian egalitarians believe that the Bible advocates for gender equality and equal responsibilities for the family unit and the ability for women to exercise spiritual authority as clergy.

In contrast to Christian complementarianists and Christian patriarchists, proponents of Christian egalitarianism argue that Bible verses often used to justify patriarchal domination in gender roles are misinterpreted. Egalitarians believe in a form of mutual submission in which all people submit to each other in relationships and institutions as a code of conduct without a need for hierarchical authority.

Christian egalitarianism refers to a biblically based belief that gender, in and of itself, neither privileges nor curtails a believer's gifting or calling to ministry in the church or at home. It does not imply that women and men are identical or undifferentiated, but asserts that God designed men and women to complement and benefit one another.

A wide range of denominations embraces egalitarian beliefs:

Other denominations and movements that often embody egalitarian practice include some Mennonite groups, Moravians, and certain Evangelical Covenant Church and American Baptist congregations.

All three Synoptic Gospels record Jesus as saying:

You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you.

Christian egalitarians interpret "lord it over" to imply oppressive leadership, whereas "exercise authority" is viewed as potentially neutral or relational, rather than abusive. Recent scholarship interprets Jesus' words as rejecting domination in favor of a servant leadership approach.
