Sacred prostitution, temple prostitution, cult prostitution, and religious prostitution are general terms for a rite consisting of paid intercourse performed in the context of religious worship, possibly as a form of fertility rite or divine marriage (hieros gamos). Scholars prefer the terms "sacred sex" or "sacred sexual rites" in cases where payment for services is not involved.

In ancient Greece, sacred prostitution was known in the city of Corinth where the Temple of Aphrodite employed a significant number of female servants, hetairai, during classical antiquity.

In the temple of Apollo at Bulla Regia, a woman was found buried with an inscription reading: "Adulteress. Prostitute. Seize (me), because I fled from Bulla Regia." It has been speculated she might be a woman forced into sacred prostitution as a punishment for adultery.

Ierodulia (dal greco ἱερόν "tempio" + δουλία "servitù", "dipendenza") è la condizione di dipendenza da un'istituzione templare. I templi del mondo antico, infatti, disponevano di personale di entrambi i sessi, chiamati appunto "ieroduli", sia a supporto delle attività rituali (manutenzione, cura degli arredi sacri, preparazione dei sacrifici, attività di macellazione, ecc.) sia per la gestione delle proprietà del tempio. Si trattava, pare, di schiavi, il cui padrone li aveva destinati alla dea in voto, rinunciando ad ogni diritto su di loro tramite la manomissione.
