Psychic archaeology is a loose collection of practices involving the application of paranormal phenomena to problems in archaeology. It is not considered part of mainstream archaeology, or taught in academic institutions. It is difficult to test scientifically, since archaeological sites are relatively abundant, and all of its verified predictions could have been made via educated guesses.

In fiction
- Sophia Hapgood, a character in the Indiana Jones canon, is both a psychic and an archaeologist. Her name is a reference to Charles Hapgood, a proponent of pseudoscientific pole shift theory.
