倫理與宗教科（Ethics and Religious Studies，簡稱 ERS）是香港中學文憑考試（HKDSE）甲類高中選修科目之一，由香港考試及評核局（HKEAA）舉辦。考生一般為修讀三年高中課程、準備以文憑試成績升讀本地大學及專上院校或投考公務員的中六學生；科目同時適合對倫理思考、宗教傳統與價值判斷有興趣的學生。考評局就本科公布評核大綱、課程及評估指引、考生表現示例與等級描述，這些是掌握考核要求最直接的依據。校本評核屬文憑試整體評核安排的一部分，本科的校本評核資料另行發布，考生應向任教老師確認本科的具體安排。成績按水平參照成績匯報制度（Standards-referenced Reporting，SRR）以第1級至第5 級匯報，考評局另製作動畫講解1至5 的評級過程。備試時宜先讀通評核大綱與課程及評估指引，再以考生表現示例和等級描述校準答題深度，並留意考評局公布的考試報告與樣本試卷。本頁為獨立整理，非考評局官方資料，報考安排與最新公布一律以考評局網站為準。.
