{{Short description|Folklore of the Slavic peoples}}

Slavic folklore encompasses the folklore of the Slavic peoples from their earliest records until today. Folklorists have published a variety of works focused specifically on the topic over the years.{{Cite book |last=Kononenko |first=Natalie O. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/148635994 |title=Slavic folklore : a handbook |date=2007 |isbn=978-0-313-33610-2 |location=Westport, Conn. |oclc=148635994}}{{Page needed|date=March 2023}}

There are few written records of pagan Slavic beliefs; research of the pre-Christian Slavic beliefs is challenging due to a stark class divide between nobility and peasantry who worshipped separate deities.{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/671465810 |title=Storytelling : an encyclopedia of mythology and folklore |date=2008 |publisher=M.E. Sharpe |others=Josepha Sherman |isbn=978-0-7656-8208-6 |location=Armonk, N.Y. |oclc=671465810}} Many Christian beliefs were later integrated and synthesized into Slavic folklore.
