Urban shamanism, also known as "digital shamanism" or "digital psychedelia", is a school of thought born out of the convergence of technological changes, art movements, and Eastern philosophies during the late 20th century. It parallels and is often associated with technopaganism. In practice, the digital psychedelic process is the fusion of the biological and technological to achieve profound self-knowledge.

Komatsu Kiyoko, the founder of a Japanese new religious movement known as Shinmeiaishinkai, practices a form of shamanism that focuses on business-related oracles which also has been described as "urban shamanism".
