使徒統緒（Apostolic succession），天主教中文译作宗徒傳承，是指基督教教會的聖職是從耶稣的十二使徒傳承開始代代相傳，通常與聲稱是一系列的主教有關[1]這一系列的主教，起初被視為由一個或多個使徒建立的教座的主教，但現在被理解為一系列的主教（不論來自那個教座）受其他主教祝聖，而施行祝聖的主教也是以同樣的方式受祝聖，一直追溯至使徒[2][3]。

使徒統緒也可以理解成從使徒至今的教義連續性[4]。例如，英國循道宗會議將「真實連續」定為「基督經歷的連續，同一靈所賜的團契，屬於一主的連續，訊息的持續宣告，使命的持續領受……[5]」。

一些人視按手禮為使徒統緒的重要部分，因新約聖經提及個人的使徒傳承（例如從保羅到提摩太和提多）。他們也認為早期教會書信，特別是聖紀文書信[6]。紀文特別提到，使徒委派主教為繼承人，並指示主教也應照樣委派繼承人，因此，這樣的教會領袖不能無故罷免。此外，提倡主教擁有個人使徒傳承的人指出，早教統一的教會（公元431年及之前）普遍奉行這規定。

加爾文主義背景的歸正宗與長老宗、少部分的聖公宗與信義宗等新教派別否定使徒統緒的必要[1][7]，並質疑這些歷史聲稱的真實性。

Because it would be too long in such a volume as this to enumerate the successions of all the churches, we point to the tradition of that very great and very ancient and universally known Church, which was founded and established at Rome, by the two most glorious Apostles, Peter and Paul: we point I say, to the tradition which this Church has from the Apostles, and to her faith proclaimed to men which comes down to our time through the succession of her bishops, and so we put to shame . . . all who assemble in unauthorized meetings. For with this Church, because of its superior authority, every Church must agree — that is the faithful everywhere — in communion with which Church the tradition of the Apostles has been always preserved by those who are everywhere
