An ōfuda (御札, a "great note") is a gofu (護符) or a talisman issued by a Shinto shrine. It may also be called shinpu (神符). It is made by inscribing the name of a kami and the name of the Shinto shrine or of a representative of the kami on a strip of paper, wood, cloth, or metal.

It is to be renewed yearly, typically before the end of a year, and attached to a door, pillar, or ceiling. It may also be placed inside a private shrine (kamidana). It is believed to protect the family in residence from general harm, such as a disease. A more specific ofuda may be placed near particular objects such as one for kitchen to protect from accidental fire. A popular ofuda called Jingu Taima (神宮大麻) or simply Taima (大麻) is issued by the Ise Shrine. It is made from hemp cloth; the use of hemp as a material was common from antiquity.

A portable form of ofuda, commonly called omamori (お守り) is typically given out wrapped in a small bag made of decorated cloth. This originates from Buddhism, but was subsequently adopted by Shinto. Both Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines give out these omamori. While an ofuda is said to protect a whole family, an omamori offers support for personal benefits.
