Eucharistic miracles are miracles which, particularly in the Catholic Church, involve claimed supernatural phenomena occurring with the Eucharistic host. This article contains lists of these miracles.

Carlo Acutis, a 15-year-old Catholic who developed an early interest in computers and video games, became known for cataloging over 150 Eucharistic miracles that were said to occur in different countries. He became a canonized Catholic saint on 7 September 2025. Writing guidance notes for the Acutis exhibition, Raffaello Martinelli, former official at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith states that Catholics are "not obliged to believe", but miracles can be "useful and fruitful aids to religious faith." The exhibition website does not claim miracles have been scientifically validated, nor does it cite peer-reviewed studies or scientific research as confirmation. Other Catholic scientists cautioned that "a careful appraisal both for and against the scientific claims is necessary."

Legacy of the Acutis list The listed miracles by Acutis have toured many places around the world, and were exhibited across the Archdiocese of Detroit, especially Dearborn. Children were inspired by the compiled lists that helped them to "grow closer to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament." In Our Lady of Pity's Church, Staten Island, New York, the internationally renowned "Eucharist Miracles of the World" exhibition featured 75 panels that showcase the miracles from around the world. This was considered an "inspiring testament to faith and devotion." It holds special significance to the canonization of Carlo Acutis.

However, Church historian Alessandro Serra has questioned the individual attribution of the exhibition to Acutis. Serra noted the exhibition's first catalogue, published in 2006 with a preface by Angelo Comastri, was credited to Sergio Meloni and Istituto San Clemente I Papa e Martire—an association founded by the Acutis family that was later absorbed by the association dedicated to Acutis. Subsequent editions of the catalogue featured identical content, but omitted Sergio Meloni's name, instead attributing the design and curation of the exhibit solely to Acutis. Serra claimed this narrative was shaped by Acutis' mother Antonia Salzano, noting she has the domain name for the exhibition website.Serra, Alessandro (2019). Santi, Claudia, Solvi, Daniele (eds.) Contra i pericoli del cyberspazio la recherche d'un patrono per i nouveaux navigant (PDF). Viella, pp. 154, 158-159. doi:10 52056/9788833133096

List of miracle claims rejected by Church authorities In the modern era, the Catholic Church's process of discerning miracle claims can conclude that an event was naturally caused. John S. Bonnici in an interview explained that sometimes the Vatican is consulted for cases, but the final decision is always with the local bishop. Robert Spitzer had advocated for a more defined procedure to remedy this problem, as dioses in different parts of the world do not follow a uniform way to scientifically investigate alleged miracles.

This list includes miracle claims both outright rejected by the Church, along with cases where a relevant Church authority explicitly declined to investigate a case or deemed them invalid.
