Peran-peran wanita dalam Kekristenan beragam sejak pendiriannya. Wanita memiliki peran penting dalam Kekristenan[1] khususnya dalam pernikahan dan jabatan pelayanan resmi dalam denominasi-denominasi Kristen tertentu, dan organisasi Parachurch.
Kebanyakan peran kepemimpinan dalam gereja terorganisir dilarang dipegang oleh wanita, namun kebanyakan gereja kini memegang pandangan egalitarian (kesetaraan peran pria dan wanita) terkait peran-peran wanita dalam gereja. Dalam gereja-gereja Katolik Roma dan Ortodoks, hanya pria yang dapat menjabat sebagai imam atau penatua (uskup, presbiter dan deakon); hanya laki-laki selibat yang menjabat dalam jabatan-jabatan kepemimpinan senior seperti Sri Paus, patriark dan kardinal. Wanita dapat menjabat sebagai abdis dan perawan tahbisan.

- Catechism of the Catholic Church. Many Christians also see Mary as the prototypical Christian, as in the Bible she was the first to hear the Good News of Jesus' coming. She is one of the few of Jesus' followers reported to be present at his crucifixion. Thus she is a woman who is most imitated among Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox saints.
